Biography of a writer, whose only apparent claim of notability per WP:AUTHOR is that he existed. This is referenced almost entirely to unreliable sources like a geni.com genealogy and a GoodReads profile -- and the only other claim of notability present, that he served as secretary of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, is not a claim of notability that would exempt a person from having to be sourced properly either. While that claim is technically sourced to a file in the National Archives of the United Kingdom, it's not a file of press clippings about him but a file of his own correspondence -- so that's not a source that can bolster notability either in the absence of any reliable source coverage about him in media. Simply put, there's nothing here -- neither in the substance nor the sourcing -- that would make him eligible for a Wikipedia article. Bearcat (talk) 16:53, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. A couple of quick searches yields no trace of notability.  --Lockley (talk) 23:47, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
