Promotional article. Not finding anything like enough to pass
WP:GNG in the citations or anywhere else online or via Google Books etc.

Comment. I'm not seeing how it can be a promotional article, given he died 18 years ago! What's it promoting exactly? --

The tone, style and lack of sources suggest that it is promotional. Promotional content is much more of an issue for BLPs, but people do sometimes start articles on their ancestors and other dead relatives. It was started in 2007, so subject was only dead for 6 years at that point. The article creator has edited
Owen Spencer-Thomas, also up for deletion, who I presume is Ivor's son.

Not really promotional then. Just personal interest. --

The two concepts are not mutually exclusive.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,

Delete - Aside from the promotional tone (or, I guess, we can just call it
non-neutral), there simply aren't enough sources for this to pass
WP:GNG or
WP:BIO.
