Fails WP:NACADEMIC and WP:ANYBIO. The subject's only notability is that he was a cricket player in high school and a principal at two high schools (only one of which is notable). The subject's sister (for which an article doesn't exist) is far more notable - in that she was the first female chancellor of a university. (WP:NOTINHERIT). Ref #1, #3 & #4 are all mentions in passing. Dan arndt (talk) 01:53, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. School headmasters can sometimes be notable (more likely through WP:GNG than WP:PROF) but we don't have evidence for that in this case. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:27, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
