Minimally sourced biography of a person with no strong claim of notability. This asserts that he was a "statesman", but fails to specify what political role he might have held to earn that title, and that he was an administrative officer to a nobleman (which is not a notability criterion at all), and that his son was notable. But notability is not inherited, so a person with no standalone notability claim of his own does not get a Wikipedia article just to help fill out his son's genealogy -- and the only source cited here at all is his son's autobiography, with no evidence of independent media coverage about his "statesman" or "administrative officer" roles being shown at all. Nothing here, either in the sourcing or the substance, is compelling grounds for a Wikipedia article. Bearcat ( talk) 17:02, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

- Delete mentioned in article on his son, redirect is not needed since there is no sourcing beyond the mention son's bio. Being an administrator to an 18th century aristocrat could be notable, but if he was my searches in gBooks would have produced something about him. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 23:31, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
