Little in the way of WP:RS to support this article, with 2 of the 3 pages of search results being WordPress websites. He appears to have written two books, but they do not appear to have many (if any) reviews of a notable nature. There is very little reliable and secondary available about him. Article is also in rough shape style/writing wise.

Based on this, he does not satisfy WP:GNG, WP:NAUTHOR, or WP:NACADEMIC. Your thoughts are welcome. TheSandDoctor (talk) 04:40, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Nandy was a very notable person in his time, but not many of the relevant sources are on line. I've improved the article, but the most important sources - the National Archives - are not on line.Rathfelder (talk) 08:14, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Notable British political theorist of the '60s. This stuff is fairly obscure, unless you're looking at the UK left wing of the '60s, but he was important within that. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:17, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I'd expect more recognition given the nature of the topic for WP notability to be ascertained. Btw, the topic is not really obscure, and has been highly socially relevant for years. This is a possible re-direct, as a section in daughter's WP page - Lisa Nandy. Independently, the subject does not seem to pass notability requirements under WP:PROF or WP:BIO.--Eric Yurken (talk) 15:19, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• He wrote 7 books and was the subject of two filmed documentaries. He was appointed by the government as an expert on equal opportunities. Rathfelder (talk) 16:31, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Seems notable with proper references. Expertwikiguy (talk) 18:09, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
