The following discussion is an archived discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Peerage articles are always named after the highest title, in this case Earl Wandesford. Subsidiary titles such as Viscount Castlecomer are redirects.

Comment: Only one of the people listed at this article was ever titled "Earl Wandesford". It would thus be very odd to title the article as such.

Comment unlike Lyons and Canning, there's been more than one of each. And D'Abernon existed in modern times, unlike this title. I personally think that the rank used should be that which is most used by the holders, such as what is usually done with shipnames, where the length of service usually determines the name used, if notability is roughly equal --

Comment Gbook hits has "Viscount Castlecomer" at 190, "Baron Wandesford" at 75, "Earl Wandesford" at 28. The previous move request had a good point, all but one were Viscounts Castlecomer. That example (Viscound->Earl) would mean in this case "Earl Castlecomer", which is nonexistent. Do you have more examples? --

The best thing to do might be to scrape together a stub for the one and only Earl Wandesford. Then,
Earl Wandesford could redirect to that article, which seems to be the usual practice for titles held by one and only one person. Anyone know something about the electoral politics of County Kilkenny and Callan borough in the latter half of the 1700s?
