The article Elizabeth Campbell, Marchioness of Breadalbane has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources, fails WP:BIO.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Walter Scott (MP for Roxburghshire), an article you created is almost entirely copied from this article. I see no evidence that any of that material is public domain, or otherwise freely licensed. You cannot just paste in copyrighted material even if you provide a citation. -- Whpq ( talk) 03:21, 3 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Викидим He is called this in Crusader Kings II. GoldenBootWizard276 ( talk) 05:29, 12 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Викидим I am blocked and as such can you please include the preceeding information in the discussion. GoldenBootWizard276 ( talk) 14:12, 13 April 2024 (UTC) reply

As you might know, it is against the rules to edit on behalf of a blocked user, see WP:BLOCK#Proxying. So I have to form my own opinion first. When I followed the link provided by you, I hit a computer game and stopped right there, since a redirect from a title of a fictional character to an article about a real-world person makes little sense anyhow, and I did not research further. Викидим ( talk) 17:30, 13 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Викидим: The redirect is not from a "title of a fictional character to an article about a real-world person". It is a redirect from a title of a real-world person in a fictional game to an article about a real-world person. GoldenBootWizard276 ( talk) 20:21, 15 April 2024 (UTC) reply

There is no escape from the fact that nobody outside the game uses this title. The real person's titles were different and IMHO would not have triggered an RfD. If you check the redirect target, the title "sultan" is conspicuously absent there. So here we have a case of game imitating the reality, not replicating it.
