Non-notable academic; prod was disputed. Notability claim is " His work was cited or mentioned in books,[2] scholarly articles[3] and on the UK National Archives web site,"; this does not address WP:PROF or WP:BIO notability guidelines. OhNo itsJamie Talk 17:13, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. None of the references in the current article are to significant coverage in independent reliable sources to satisfy WP:BASIC, nor can I find any evidence he meets WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR. Qwfp (talk) 12:34, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

I misread / misunderstood the notability criteria. I have copied the article to my user space in case his notability becomes established when his obituaries are published. Meanwhile, this discussion could be closed. Sorry to take up people's time. Rjm at sleepers (talk) 05:22, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
