 * Keep per WP:NMFD. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 06:11, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Update remove vanity bio/FAKEARTICE from draft space Maybe suited to someone's userpage if they are an active contributor. Legacypac (talk) 07:19, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
 * "Vanity bio" seems improbable given that the subject was deceased at the time of the draft's creation. It is unclear what would make this a fake article as opposed to a good-faith draft; he was awarded an MBE and was the subject of an article in the Telegraph & Argus. This article was nearly a G13 candidate at the time of the MfD nomination, though, so I guess delete without prejudice to a refund if someone wants it? VQuakr (talk) 16:35, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Move to mainspace. Sourced, further sources easily found, an MBE recipient, notable.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:26, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Absolutely if MBE is an automatic notability. I did not know that. Legacypac (talk) 04:47, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Nothing is automatic notability, but an OBE is a pretty serious indicator. The proportion of MBE recipients without a Wikipedia biography is pretty small.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:48, 22 June 2017 (UTC)  Checking, ... there are a lot more bluelinks than redlinks, but for historical people, like 50 years ago, most have no sources and no mention.  This is a large part of the reason behind WP:NMFD, checking notability for a draft is an onerous undertaking, you can't just look and guess.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:55, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
 * OBE and MBE are very different levels. Still, plausibly notable. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:19, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
