General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing:
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
Other problems:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: New enough, QPQ done, at 1923 characters meets the length requirement, hook cited and verified from 2 sources but I couldn't access the Oxford Dictionary of National of National Biography, Earwig says 'violation unlikely'. As to how notable the subject is, I have my doubts but then again he has a CBE. Ashwin147 (talk) 11:51, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ashwin147: He has an entry in the ODNB and you're doubting his notability? If you are approving this nomination, can you please remove the "?" from the "status" field in the checklist template. If you are not approving the nomination, please make it clear. 97198 (talk) 13:24, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@97198: Had to look up ODNB and have removed the "?". Cheers! Ashwin147 (talk) 06:05, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
