*The article upon which Cirt relies is one headline and two sentences. It only says this: "Editors' guild president dies.

I couldn't establish that he meets WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Has been tagged for notability for over 7 years; hopefully, we can now resolve this. Sending WP:APPNOTE to Jonathan Oldenbuck. Boleyn (talk) 15:17, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, a proper search for additional sources reveals no significant coverage in reliable sources to show that this gentleman meets Wikipedia's standards for inclusion. BencherliteTalk 12:25, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Lloyd was the President of the Guild of British Newspaper Editors. Per cite:
    • "Editors' guild president dies". The Glasgow Herald. 29 December 1986. p. 3 – via Google News Archive. {{cite news}}: |access-date= requires |url= (help)
  • Hope this information is helpful, — Cirt (talk) 12:35, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep only if this is notable and acceptable. SwisterTwister talk 04:55, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • SwisterTwister, I'm afraid I don't understand your comment. All articles should be kept 'only if this is notable and acceptable.' But is this person WP:NOTABLE, and what convinces you? Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 20:44, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I know the article may not seem like much but any other better sources may not be online so this makes consider keeping, Boleyn. SwisterTwister talk 20:48, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
