• Very weak keep, my guess is that headmaster of Eton would just barely push someone over the bar? I could be convinced otherwise --Deville (Talk) 01:22, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Also a professor at Gresham College, which is a high honor in British academia. Sumahoy 03:26, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Another case where I see no reason to set higher standards than the standard reference on British biography. Just like Robert Adair, Birley is included in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. (By the way, I'd bet that most professional footballers and cricketers included in Wikipedia are not mentioned in the ODNB.) u p p l a n d 06:59, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
