 * Keep: He held the elected offices of Provost and Councillor in his local area. Beyond this, he had an active national role for more than a decade, on groups such as the Economic Committee and the Scottish Council on Industry. The award of the CBE is a reflection of this. There is coverage of this in reliable sources. He passes WP:GNG. Drchriswilliams (talk) 11:09, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per long consensus that the CBE proves notability under WP:ANYBIO #1. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:06, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
