A british socialist union organiser who did practically nothing to be notable. Other than being rewarded "Commander of the Order of the British Empire" in 1956, nothing notable can be found about him since then. SolxrgashiUnited (talk) 13:20, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator has not provided an actual policy or guideline for discussion. The reason stated so far is WP:IDONTLIKEIT. – The Grid (talk) 14:41, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. "Did practically nothing to be notable" apart from being leader of one of Britain's largest trade unions for ten years and then a member of the Industrial Court and being awarded a high honour for his contribution. I am sometimes at a loss to understand the logic of other editors! Clearly you need to sing a song or prance around on social media to be considered notable! -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:24, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. 20 mentions in The Times between 1916 and 1953, 8 of which are reports of substantial labour agreements where he represented the unions; several others are News in Brief entries about him being appointed to new positions, which suggests The Times thought his career was worth reporting on.

Speedy keep per my comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ivan Kuras. No reason for the Wikipedia community to entertain SolxrgashiUnited's wish to have 30 open discussions at the same time, largely met with keep responses. Geschichte (talk) 21:01, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, trout, and move swiftly on. Mccapra (talk) 21:52, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, leader of one of the country's largest trade unions, and recipient of a CBE. Article is fully sourced, looks like there are more sources out there which could be used to expand article. Warofdreams talk 22:44, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per Adam Sampson and noting that there are three or more reliable sources already in the article. Other than not liking labor unions, I don’t know why anyone would want to delete this. Bearian (talk) 13:52, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep as per Adam Sampson. Dormskirk (talk) 14:55, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
