Despite the two excellent obits referenced, this gentleman was only remembered in them for being the wine buyer for a supermarket chain. There is no true notability in the WIkipedia sense. Fiddle  Faddle  13:02, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

 * I only created and started writing this article an hour ago and had just stopped for lunch. Do you not think I should be allowed to write the article first before its nominated for deletion! I take it the reviewer involved has done their research!
 * THis is nto a fast process. If you can show he is notable except for one thing, show it. Fiddle   Faddle  22:35, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
 * The vast majority of our biographical articles are about people who are notable for one occupation. Where do you get this idea that people have to have two strings to their bows to be notable? Your continual making up of non-existent requirements in your deletion nominations is becoming disruptive. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:47, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. Obituaries in major serious national newspapers such as The Times and The Daily Telegraph are among the best possible sources for establishing notability. And where on Earth does the nominator get the idea that "only remembered in them for being the wine buyer for a supermarket chain" is any disqualification to notability? We base our decisions on what such sources deem notable, not on our personal prejudices about what we think should be notable. The fact is that he passes WP:GNG by dint of significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:44, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep based on obituaries, especially Times assessment of his career. Coretheapple (talk) 15:56, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - there's current discussion elsewhere about whether someone with one major-paper obit and other passing mentions should be considered notable and we seem to be leaning toward "yes". Surely someone with multiple such obits would be considered notable. Stalwart 111  06:01, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
