The one source here is a primary source, and is a public death database. I am not even sure if it has enough information to indicate the linked death is for the same person. My search was able to come up with a few mentions in sources to the works he published, but no reviews, no true coverage of him in a biographical sense, and so few mentions of his work deeply embedded in notes in long books, that there is little prospect. His name does appear in, but in a list where they are literally just listing names, they are not even listing dates. These are evidently huge, multi-page sections by nationality and beyond listing the names they say nothing of what these people wrote. It is a database, but one of the most useless databases I have ever seen, since other than the fact that the people included are in some sense "writers" and if you scroll through enough pages you will find the nationality listing, it tells you nothing. It also does not appear to be a reliable source. I see nothing substantial to show notability. Being editor of a publication that is not notable or impactful is not a pass on notability grounds. and being a published writer, or in some ways more a compiler of huge lists of things, in and of itself is not enough to show notability.

 * Delete - Not even a claim of notability in the article, technically this could be speedied as an A7. EnPassant♟♙ (talk) 18:43, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
 * keep as he has an entry in UK Who's Who https://doi.org/10.1093/ww/9780199540884.013.U168363 Piecesofuk (talk) 15:33, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. We have usually accepted the English Who's Who for purposes of notability . And he was editor of  very  important magazine.The Connoisseur (magazine), unaccountably not linked in the article. (until Idid it a minute or two ago(   The article can probably be expanded.

 * Comment It would be very helpful if someone included a the Whos Who article as a reference. For what it is worth the link above when I click on it just tells me I do not have access.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:53, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I've added the UK Who's Who reference, I'm sure Who's Who used to be available for free from the Wikipedia Library, looks like it's by application only at the moment, if you're in the UK your local library may offer free access. Also I've found that he is generally known as "L. G. G. Ramsey" when searching online. Piecesofuk (talk) 17:22, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
