Fails WP:JUDGE. One sentence in a book isn't going to do it. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:43, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. I can find some coverage through Newspapers.com: e.g. 1. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 11:47, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep I believe judges of the Supreme Court of Mauritius pass WP:JUDGE, even those that served during the country's colonial period. Furthermore, this one has been knighted, which is almost invariably held as an indication of notability. At least two obituaries are available on Google Books:, and there's coverage available in period newspapers. Seems like a clear keep to me. Jfire (talk) 21:03, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. The rationale presented by Jfire is convincing. BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 04:48, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable: he was knighted in 1899; plenty of coverage of his death in 1909 Piecesofuk (talk) 15:09, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - There would seem to be evidence of notability. Dunarc (talk) 23:51, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep because there is evidence of notability. InterstellarGamer12321 ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 18:44, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. We have always considered knighthoods to easily meet the criteria of WP:ANYBIO #1. And in any case, he clearly does meet WP:JUDGE as a judge of a supreme court. And had an obituary in The Times, also generally considered to be sufficient for notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:11, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
