Does not appear notable, article may only have been created because he did have a notable daughter, not everyone to have been awarded the King's Police Medal is notable, it's not like e.g. the Victoria Cross.

 * Keep. The KPM is fairly common and does not make someone notable, but it was actually very unusual for a bar to be awarded for it. I think this meets WP:ANYBIO #1. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:29, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I note that there were 54 bars and one second bar. PatGallacher (talk) 13:58, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Which rather supports my comment! 55 bars in 70 years throughout the largest empire in history is really not very many. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:30, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete per WP:BIO. There's nothing much here (we don't even know what he got the medals for), and the sourcing is terrible. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:54, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete No significant sourcing establishing why being Deputy Inspector General of Police in Madras would possibly be notable or why his receipt of a common medal specific to his position is notable. Just because the specific type of award given was uncommon doesn't mean recipients are notable absent better coverage. Reywas92Talk 17:17, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
