Your username and question to F-D
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia.I noticed you asked this question to FormalDude recently. It alerted me to the fact that your username is the same name as your business name, and seems very promotional. Your website also suggests you have offices in more than one country. Therefore, shared use with other people seems quite likely, and neither of these things is permitted here. My advice would be to abandon this account, never use it again, and simply start again by creating a new account with a less promotional name, used by only one person. Normally (as an administrator here) I would simply WP:SOFTBLOCK such an account, and expect them to create a new one. But, I don't want to come over as heavy handed, hence this personal message.
You asked FormalDude about whether you could create an article about Lord William Beauchamp Nevill. The answer I would expect them to give is that it depends whether there are reliably published sources that talk about this person in detail and in depth. See WP:NBIO for our criteria on notability of people. However, an article about them already seems to exist, so it would not be OK to create another. Or are there more than one such notable individual?
I did spot that you also run a blog by the same name as this person. It's great that you have a personal interest in this person, but if you're thinking of contributing, it's worth me advising you that we cannot accept citations to personal blogs, despite the fact that many are undoubtedly quite valid. Our overarching rule here is that we can't accept personal blogs as they cannot be assumed to have any editorial control, and some could easily be used to create hoaxes or biased content. However, blogs run by museums, archive offices, universities and prestigious institutions are likely to be OK as we would assume they are backed by institutional competence and a high degree of editorial control that we can't simply assume for personal blogs. Equally, unpublished archival documents can't be used as sources because their uniqueness renders them incapable of being VERIFIED by someone on the other side of the world via normal means.
I hope this personal message is of help, and that you are not discouraged from bringing your historian's research skills to Wikipedia. As a retired museum curator myself, I love seeing such skills being used here. I always advise new editors to learn the basics by making small edits and minor improvements to begin with, rather than rushing in to start a new article right away. This leads only to be frustrated and disappointment when they fail to understand all our policies and guidelines that need to be followed to keep order and accuracy in this this place. See this page for further guidance. Let me or Formal Dude know if we can help you further. Regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 01:04, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
