- Keep. I'd say that an obituary in The Scotsman and an entry is Scottish Who's who's is a high enough bar to cross to establish notability. I have to say, it does seem odd that a user's only contribution to Wikipedia is to nominate an article for deletion. The fact that another single-purpose user did a prod on this article citing a reason of WP:BIO makes me more suspicious. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 11:33, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Chris Neville-Smith. It needs some work, but it is a useful article on a man who was prominent in many different ways. It will probably need some non-internet sources. --Bduke (Discussion) 21:43, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Per CNS and Bduke. All these brand new SPAs going after bios is very suspicious. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:42, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Seems like he's notable per sourcing above, although the article could indeed use some improvement. Vartanza (talk) 17:36, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
