Very little evidence that this amateur historian is notable; independent coverage is limited to a 43-word newspaper obituary, and a passing mention here. As the article was written by a user banned for filling articles with fake content, original research and overinflating the importance of minor characters, I think deletion is the more pragmatic solution. bobrayner (talk) 12:32, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - Fails WP:BIO, also I couldn't find any trace of coverage to sustain the maintainability of the subject's article into wikipedia. Eduemoni↑talk↓  18:37, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete unless better sources are found. He's not a BLP.  The Times obituary isn't an obituary written by journalist, it's a death notice written by his family.  Note that there was also a George Francis Taylor CBE (1903-1979) who was a banker-cum-SOE officer  Barney the barney barney (talk) 19:13, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete for lack of evidence of passing WP:PROF or WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:31, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Article falsely claims that Taylor (1971) is "autoritative" on its subject, giving Kaizer as reference. Nothing of the kind is indicated eith by Taylor or Kaizer; Kaizer merely acknowledges that Taylor was the first to take a few photographs of previously unknown Roman temples. Taylor (1971) is only a notable source in being the first to document these temples (i.e, at the entries for those temples), NOT as a a general, authoritative source of anything.Arildnordby (talk) 15:11, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
