The result was redirect to Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion. No consensus to delete, but consensus to not keep (in this state), so.  Sandstein  18:16, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Subject is not inherently notable and does not pass GNG. Notability is reliant on one 'award'. Article would be best redirected to the page for that award: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen's_Award_for_Enterprise_Promotion isfutile:P (talk) 21:40, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep passes WP:ANYBIO as winner of a major award. More information being added, and additional info from the National Archive is in the pipeline. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 18:54, 26 November 2015 (UTC).[reply]

• Perhaps Delete as I simply found no better coverage and basically the award is the only lifeline for this article. Notifying users DGG, MurderByDeadcopy and Cunard for some better insight as they request to be notified at low traffic AfDs. SwisterTwister talk 06:26, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The award is given to multiple people a year, and in repeated discussions here has been held not sufficient for notability . But possibly additional information will be forthcoming. DGG ( talk ) 07:07, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• CommentHow come when I click on isfutile:P the one who nominated this AfD, I get redirected to Tonyinman? My mistake confusing something else I read, oops! --MurderByDeletionism^"bang!" 19:14, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion (with the history preserved under the redirect and without prejudice to anyone undoing the redirect if more information establishing notability has been added). There is not enough coverage of the subject to establish notability per Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline.

  Rich Farmbrough wrote, "More information being added, and additional info from the National Archive is in the pipeline." A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow Rich Farmbrough to undo the redirect once more information is available and can be added. Preserving the history under the redirect will also allow Rich Farmbrough or any other interested editors to merge material to Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion. I note that the AfD nominator also supports a redirect.

• Redirect as per Cunard. This will give Rich Farmbrough more time. Once an article hits AfD, it just becomes a huge ticking bomb! --MurderByDeletionism^"bang!" 07:39, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
