Ronnie Bradford (army officer)

This is a British Army officer failing WP:N and WP:BIO. This article was created because he signed a letter arguing for Brexit in 2016. The source names him but nothing else. A search of Google news, scholar, etc, and internet archive have brought up nothing that demonstrate he is notable. There is no significant coverage of this individual; his mentions in secondary sources boil down to 1) this Brexit article and 2) a quote from him in 2000 when his battalion had a drugs scandal.

 * Delete Signing a petition does not make you notable. Peer, so biographical information about him, his wives and children is available. British Army 1979-2013. Commanded the 1st Battalion, Black Watch, 1998-2000. (His notable father Bill commanded the 5th Battalion in NW Europe 1944-1946) Served in Northern Ireland (mentioned in despatches in 1992), Afghanistan 2006-2007 and the Congo. Now with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. No evidence as to why he was considered one of the UK's "most distinguished retired military officers".
