Fails WP:N and some other guidelines and policies, like being a trivial intersection of characteristics, and a gallery. People have a personal (or family) coat of arms, and are governor-general: neither has a bearing on the other, the combination doesn't provide any additional information or insight. (proposed by Fram )
