Therese Hughes

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested PROD. Ms. Hughes, a hairdresser, was awarded an MBE for specialising her services on cancer patients. According to the Order of the British Empire article, 1464 MBE may be awarded annually. So there are probably around 50,000 of them, which means, that having been awarded it, cannot prove notability on its own. Since there is no substantial coverage about her in reliable sources other than a few reports of her now being an MBE, the article's subject lacks notability.

 * Keep Members of orders of chivalry are inherently notable. Blueboy96 04:04, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I disagree that an MBE by itself is automatically notable. A CBE yes, but MBEs and OBEs are pretty commonplace and often granted for worthy but very mundane achievements. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:16, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep - prior to the awarding of the MBE, there was this article. More coverage would sway me from the weak position. -- Whpq (talk) 14:09, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. MBE's are clearly not inherently notable, per the nom; they can be given purely for local government or charity work, stuff that would never be written about (ie noted) outside of local press. There are simply too many of them to be notable. If other sources appear showing this particular MBE holder is notable, then i'd be ok with keeping.Yobmod (talk) 11:02, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
