This article is a fake. There was no such peerage created in 1934 or in any other year. It is accordingly not listed in The Complete Peerage, nor by [http://www.peerages.info David Beamish] (the former Clerk of the Parliaments), nor by Leigh Rayment in [http://www.leighrayment.com/peers/peersL2.htm his index], nor in any of the other directories of the Peerage.

  • Speedy Delete No sources can be found for the term. Looks a hoax. Lourdes 01:28, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete: No mention in Times obituary of Hugh MacDowell Pollock (Mr. H. M. Pollock. The Times (London, England), Friday, Apr 16, 1937; pg. 16; Issue 47660. - available online to UK library users and other subscribers). Suggest a mass reversion of the creating editor's questionable additions. Note Adelaide Pollock, created today. PamD 08:29, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

::OK, I've found a Times death notice for Adelaide and an aviation website too - neither of them cited as sources in the article. So she seems OK. Though her dad's title will need to be removed from the article. PamD 08:41, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

:::And have done some work on her article including moving her and removing the mention of the unsourced barony. PamD 09:09, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

  • Delete -- If the title had been created, that would be recorded in London Gazettee. Accordingly, this is a case of WP:OR. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:43, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete. Hoax. Hugh Pollock has an entry in Who's Who and the Dictionary of National Biography. Neither mention him being ennobled. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:09, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete. I agree with the proposer and others. --Editor FIN (talk) 06:37, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
