Kenneth Fisher (educationalist)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This person was a school headmaster and the father of a notable naturalist. But notability is not inherited, so what do we have to establish his personal notability? An obituary in The Times of 1945, and a short entry in the Who was who. Fails WP:BASIC, not to mention WP:NACADEMIC. — JFG talk 14:14, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. I added some references. There is a whole chapter about him in a book. As well, being listed in the British Who's Who or the collection of articles about deceased listees, Who Was Who is a strong indicator of notability. So is an obituary in a national newspaper such as The Times. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 23:27, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Obits and Who's Who clinch it. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:35, 12 September 2019 (UTC).
 * Keep. In addition to the sources mentioned above, there is also a (freely available online) published obituary in Ibis. This obit contains detailed bio info that can be used to expand the article without dealing with various paywalls and offline sources. I have added a ref to the article. Satisfies WP:BIO and WP:GNG.
