Keep. I don't see why this article has been AfDed. The man received a knighthood and a CBE. He has an entry in Who's Who and an obituary in The Times, all of which were cited in the article when this nomination was made. Not only based on precedent, but also on guidelines (WP:ANYBIO: "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times."), this person is notable and the article should not be deleted. —

Keep An obituary in The Times is the gold standard and there's plenty more material to be found, e.g. Davis, Morris (February 1962), "British Public Relations: A Political Case Study", The Journal of Politics, 24 (1): 50–71,

Keep per Noswall59. Meets
WP:ANYBIO(1) with a CBE. --

Keep. We have always considered that a CBE or higher passes
WP:ANYBIO #1. Baker had a CBE and a knighthood (which is higher). And an obit in a national newspaper just adds to his notability. Clear pass of notability standards. --

Keep - Meets the notability guidelines and tons of sources. -- Danetalk 19:12, 12 January 2018 (UTC)reply
Keep. A person who fails NPOL can still pass some other inclusion standard for some other reason — for example, a writer who wins a Pulitzer Prize, but then tries to run for political office and loses, gets kept as a notable writer rather than deleted as a non-notable politician. A CBE clears ANYBIO, and a knighthood even more so — this could definitely do with some additional referencing, so by all means flag it for {{Refimprove}}, but not passing NPOL is irrelevant if he passes another SNG.
