Delete: absolutely no claim to notability. Being solicitor to the post office is not sufficiently notable. Delete. Bristolbottom (talk) 18:36, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep his claim to notability is two-fold, solicitor for the post office, and a knighthood. The use of the word absolutely in the nomination appears to be incorrect, although one might quibble over coverage, as most is not online.  His death was important enough for coverage in The Solicitor's Journal, and he did have a couple of high profile cases.  Unfortunately I am not near a law library at present. --Bejnar (talk) 05:40, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. He was knighted for God's sake. Clearly meets WP:ANYBIO #1. Getting a bit fed up with this editor's scattergun nomination of people who clearly meet our notability guidelines. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:56, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
