Acting deputy commissioner of police for London, not exactly a high profile role (unlike the commissioner, who is a politically significant figure). Flagged for tone since march and not fixed, only one source, a news story. Most of the Google hits are news stories, we seem to be blazing the trail in publishing a biography.

- Keep. The awards and honours listed, including an OBE, and this BBC News article are enough to demonstrate notability, I think. – Eastmain (talk) 00:30, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep. The senior positions in the Met are much more senior than the equivalent top-level posts in other police forces. The fact that BBC News considers this appointment important enough for a story in its own right seems enough for me. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 11:25, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep -- With the high profile of the Met and its natioanl responsibility in certain areas, I think that Deputy Commissioner is probably a notable post, but this should be an exception. I would oppose deputy chief constables being treated similarly. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:07, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
