Also, I would note that the bulk of the article is (unsourced={{refimprove}}) material on his genealogy. The material on his career is (i) rather brief & (ii) does little to establish any particular prominence. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 09:53, 21 May 2011 (UTC)reply
Fair point re: genealogy. As he's the son of a
Baronet, and therefore was in the
line of succession to the Baronetcy, the majority of it is in Burke's. As for being notable, fellowship of the
Royal College of Psychiatrists and the
Zoological Society of London mark him as notable. I'm sorry that you consider the article to be overly towards genealogy, but since his father, mother, both grandfathers, and a particularly notable great-grandfather all have articles, as do his daughter, son-in-law, have aritlces plus his son (whose article seems to have been replaced by one on yet another unnotable footballer)

It is unclear that being FRCPsych or FZS confer automatic notability, particularly lacking any supporting details on the prominence of his contribution to either field.
This impression is further exacerbated by the emphasis on genealogy rather than achievements -- leading to the impression that he's famous more for who he's related to rather than that he's done. "I'm sorry" but the fact that "his father, mother, both grandfathers, and a particularly notable great-grandfather all have articles, as do his daughter, son-in-law, have aritlces plus his son" isn't particularly relevant. Such information is more appropriate to
Darwin family. This is particularly true when the article wanders off into the territory of his daughter's inlaws.
This article remains unsourced on his upbringing and immediate family.
