British lord with no claim to fame. Fails WP:BIO. Didn't sit in the House of Lords either, so cannot qualify for WP:NPOL. BEFORE only turned up a Daily Mail piece and one run-of-the-mill piece in the Times. He is also a Deputy Lieutenant (DL) for Wiltshire, which is only a honorary position, and there are lots of precedents for deletion of DL articles, such as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sir Philip Grey Egerton, 11th Baronet and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jane Williams, Baroness Williams of Elvel. Source assessment follows.
Source assessment table:
| ||||
| Source | Independent? | Reliable? | Significant coverage? | Count source toward GNG? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Burke's Peerage [date, page unknown] |  Only reliable for genealogy, per
WP:RSP. However, family histories should be presented only where appropriate to support the reader's understanding of a notable topic, per WP:NOTGENEALOGY. It's also a tertiary source since it acts as a reference work of noble titles, so it cannot count towards the GNG. |
? | ✘ No | |
| "The Hon Declan Morrison and Miss M.de L.M. Prado – Engagements Announcements – Telegraph Announcements" | Engagement announcements are written by the spouses-to-be or their families, and are primary sources.

| "No. 57113". The London Gazette. 14 November 2003. p. 14106. | Primary source and passing mention.

| Danielle Sheridan, " Lord’s apology after rowdy 21st birthday keeps villagers awake", The Times, 27 September 2016 | Morrison issued an apology after his daughter's rowdy 21st birthday. Not sigcov, and the whole article is
WP:MILL.
