The only reference in this article is to the award of an OBE to this person. I have added a publication but cannot find any additional reliable coverage to include. Tacyarg (talk) 22:12, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An OBE is certainly below the level of honour envisaged by WP:ANYBIO, and what is claimed in the article to be his foremost work has five citations according to Google Scholar, so WP:PROF#C1 seems out of the question. I can find no sources that indicate any likelihood of passing WP:GNG. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:44, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails GNG, professor notability and other possible applicable notability standards.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:47, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Past consensus is that an OBE is insufficient. No evidence of academic notability. Searching did not find news coverage that might pass GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:42, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete can't find sufficient coverage either. Femke (talk) 21:33, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
