The article contains nothing like a claim of notability, and an internet search shows nothing either: no newspaper mentions for instance. Having parents is not notable.

All hereditary
Baronetcies are styled Sir (name), (N)th Baronet. The title including the Sir prefix is not earned but rather inherited.

No, a knighthood can't be inherited. A baronetcy, which he holds, can be however. All knights are thus inherently notable, but not all baronets. --

Keep I started this article because his name was red-linked on a list of his family (see here
Cory-Wright baronets) and he is the current holder of the title. I believe people come here looking for info even on these minor aristocrats and the article should stand.

Comment I think this article is more of genealogical interest than encyclopedic value. Many
Baronetcies were in fact purchased and have been passed down through families. A baronet is different from a peerage, where the latter up until 1999 had the right to take up a seat in the
House of Lords. Rather a baronet is non-notable in their own right, and I see nothing else in this guy's career history to suggest he is notable for other reasons.

Comment see the statement from
Jimbo Wales on the other similar article nominated for deletion
here regarding having a complete series of such articles completed despite the possible lack of notability of some family members.

Different situation. Jimbo was referring to peers, not baronets. --

Merge all into
Cory-Wright baronets.
In the past, we have deleted some (if not most) individual baronets, but kept a few who have independent notability.
