subject is not notable per WP:Notability BlackJack | talk page 19:49, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. You might want to state which part of WP:NOT it violates. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 23:54, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep "President of the British Dental Association" and OBE. he also happens to be Chairman of The Cricket Society which presumably is the basis for this nomination.  DGG (talk) 01:01, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Correction. Apologies for confusing WP:NOT with WP:Notability.  The Cricket Society is marginally notable re its charitable status but individual members per se are not notable unless in their own right.  --BlackJack | talk page 08:16, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete, No references, an OBE (Order of the British Empire) is limited to 856 members (I think) that in itself I feel would confire notability. But with out not even one reference I lean to delete. If someone could verify the article then my vote would be a strong keep. Callelinea 17:44, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. Here's a reference to his presidency, which mentions his OBE in passing. Clarityfiend 18:49, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Cricket-related deletions.   -- John Vandenberg 23:45, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - notable in the world of dentistry if not in the world of cricket. JH (talk page) 09:01, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
