 * Uncertain More material is available in an earlier version, including a good reference to his work. I restored it and declined the speedy. I am not however sure it amounts to importance; further checking is needed. It is often worth the trouble to check article histories.    DGG ( talk ) 16:17, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak KeepTurns out he is an MBE. I know such are not always regarded here as intrinsically notable, as there are about 100,000 of them. Personally, though I regard it might solve--for the UK--our perennial problem of which people prominent in local affairs are notable for the purpose of Wikipedia    DGG ( talk ) 17:51, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep now that DGG has restored the earlier material (well spotted!). As for MBE, well, in some areas (e.g. politics) it is more a measure of longevity, in others it is a worthy distinction. As it happens, in my view the notabiliity requirement on biographical articles like this is too high but happily the present subject passes anyway. Thincat (talk) 11:16, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
