Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 19:49, 2 January 2023 (UTC)- Notability proved beyond all reasonable doubt, must be kept. LvivForev (talk) 17:18, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per above contributors. His role at Resolution Foundation is what merits the entry (alongside his career in the civil service). I'm surprised that the article is, however, as short as it is; there are a lot of sources out there about him with a lot more information, even in the first page of results of a Google search. _MB190417_ (talk) 10:20, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Sometimes, editors can disagree reasonably, but looking at the article now, it's an easy keep. Bearian (talk) 16:18, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
