Non-notable cricket adiministrator. To my eye he fails WP:GNG. Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 17:16, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - I agree that it's a rather minimalist article which could do with a lot of expansion, but anyone who's the "Secretary" (ie CEO) of the MCC is in my opinion notable - certainly far more so than some player who has played only one first-class match. There's a citation from the Daily Telegraph, and I'd expect it to be easy enough to find plenty more. About a minute's work on Google turned up this article from The Guardian.

 * Keep. Agree with JH. The article isn't in great shape, but he has significant coverage in independent reliable sources. In addition to the two sources in the article and the source JH points out, there is also this from the BBC. Also agree that Secretary of the MCC is probably an inherently notable position. P.S. – did he ever play cricket at a serious level? If not, I'd suggest moving the article to "cricket administrator". Jenks24 (talk) 02:02, 16 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. Per JH above. Johnlp (talk) 14:54, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - If kept it will certainly need to be changed to Derek Brewer (cricket administrator), as Brewer only played minor club cricket. Also the rather long list of external links and random categories will need sorting! Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 09:56, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn - per keeps. Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 19:23, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
