 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Delete: there are are no reasons why this man should be regarded as notable, so far as I can see. Relatively low commissioned rank, and relatively minor role. Delete. Bristolbottom (talk) 17:37, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment I note that the nominator has only been an editor since 30 August 2014, and from this and other nominations for Afd, seems to lack a sufficient understanding of notability guidelines.  I also note that all, or almost all, of the nominator's edits relate to deletion requests. --Bejnar (talk) 07:33, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Recipient of the CMG, which 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) 12:16, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep Not the clearest case, but seems notable. He was awarded a number of fairly noteworthy honours, and had fairly noteworthy roles, perhaps enough to establish notability in aggregate. Mostly, though my opinion is based on the honours he received for his role in the Mesopotamian Campaign: there's enough to establish he had a major role in a military campaign, and there should be substantial coverage of him for this. Note: his nephew's bio, one of the sources, says he was knighted, which certainly establish his notability. Anyone want to confirm it? &mdash;innotata 04:36, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Not knighted according to Who Was Who. Trevor Huddleston's father, also an RIN officer, was knighted, however. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:20, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per WP:GNG - there appear to be good sources, although how significant, I'm not sure. As aide de camp to a viceroy, he might pass. Bearian (talk) 16:11, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per Necrothesp, who is correct in saying that the CMG satisfies criteria 1 of WP:ANYBIO. James500 (talk) 09:06, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
