Genealogical info, no claims of notability, prod was removed with no meaningful explanation. Corvus cornix talk  22:59, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The Military Cross, while a possible claim to notability, does not seem sufficient alone. He's already mentioned in his wife's biography. Espresso Addict (talk) 23:14, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Would that not be an argument for merging it to the Cherry Drummond, 16th Baroness Strange article? — CharlotteWebb 18:58, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The majority of it is already there. I don't believe a redirect for his name prior to marriage is needed if he's being included solely because of his wife. Espresso Addict (talk) 07:12, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete the Military Cross award, by itself, is no where near enough to meet notability criteria, his wife was notable but he seems not to be. RMHED (talk) 23:20, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The spouse of a peer is not inherently notable. Evans was a junior army officer who won the Military Cross which, whilst admirable, does not raise him high enough in the notability stakes to make him worthy of an article on Wikipedia, since it's shared with many, many thousands of others. He seems to have no other notable achievements. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:01, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
