Non notable military person. No evidence of achieving senior rank or leading a significant body of troops. Notability isn't inherited from his father or his son Gbawden (talk) 14:15, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep His notability does not rely on WP:SOLDIER, but on his being awarded a KBE (see WP:ANYBIO). Why we are not told, but he became chairman of Vickers Armstrong - there is some biographical information here on p182. The article is certainly unsatisfactory and requires referencing to better sources such as obituaries and probably a company history, but it is a keep. --AJHingston (talk) 14:41, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It now makes a more credible claim to notability. I added couple of refs after a brief look in newspaper libraries. A leading business figure with press coverage in his time (I cited a profile in the Observer). Presence in Who Was Who is an indication of notability too. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:55, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A knight and chairman of one of the largest of all British armaments companies. Of course he's notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:15, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- The Government thought him important enough to award him KBE. Vickers is (or was) an important manufacturing company and its chairman should be notable for that reason too. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:13, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
