Unreferenced BLP, no indication of notability, fails WP:POLITICIAN, fails WP:BIO –– Jezhotwells (talk) 04:38, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep, withdraw nomination, obviously I was using the wrong search terms. Can someone close this. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 21:55, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment As the article says, Tombs was an industrialist, only a politician to the extent that he obtained a life peerage after retirement. Googling him by name turns up references in for example, debates around nuclear power in the UK . One for improvement, I think. AllyD (talk) 09:21, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * A Google Scholar search leaving out the title also turns up many additional docs by and about Tombs about industrial matters. AllyD (talk) 10:03, 28 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Now referenced from a variety of sources (Hansard, House of Lords, etc.) indicating notability. AllyD (talk) 09:46, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep As a life peer and prominent businessman, now adequately sourced. By the way, what does "In July 2008 he ended it" mean. Is he dead? --Mkativerata (talk) 19:53, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it means he ended his leave of absence, it is badly worded. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 21:56, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
