This article is unreferenced and an orphan. IMO this article fails GNG and notability. Gbawden (talk) 13:33, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The only claim to notability is the OBE, then that fails WP:BIO. There are hundreds of thousands of OBE recipients, living and deceased. While the recognition in itself does not confer notability, the reason might, but I don't think it does in this case. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 20:52, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- The grant of an OBE suggests significance above the majority, but without further evidence of WP notability, I do not think the notability threshold is crossed. Peterkingiron (talk) 10:31, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
