Prominent businessman, but the sourcing does not show that they meet WP:GNG. Was sent to draft for improvement, but returned immediately without improvement. Similar to Frederick Stephens (businessman), who will also be nominated for deletion. Onel5969 TT me 11:51, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Businesspeople and United Kingdom. Shellwood ( talk) 13:17, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Passes WP:ANYBIO as he has "received a well-known and significant award or honor": received the CBE in 1972 and was knighted in 1981 Plenty of coverage in newspaper archives , for example British Newspaper Archive Piecesofuk ( talk) 13:40, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Both a knight and a CBE, both of which have been held again and again to pass
WP:ANYBIO #1. Also chairman of one of the biggest oil companies in the world. Ridiculous nomination. --

I support @ Onel5969's nomination as the sourcing doesn't support You've listed two relevant sources in your comment - why not edit the Article to add these?MetricMaster ( talk) 09:56, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
Weak keep Satisfies WP:ANYBIO as he has "received a well-known and significant award or honour", however article needs additional verifiable citesMetricMaster ( talk) 09:54, 23 March 2023 (UTC) This user has made 47 edits to Wikipedia.

- Keep Meets WP:ANYBIO, due to the CBE and knighthood. Article has improved since nomination, hopefully that continues. MrsSnoozyTurtle 02:36, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
