Non-notable, receiving an OBE, and the lowest level is not enough. No other claims of notability. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 14:53, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep clearly notable. It's ironic for someone using the honorific prefix "Sir" to claim that someone received "the lowest level" of OBE. There are no graduations in an OBE ("Officer of the Order of the British Empire"), and OBE is not the lowest grade in the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (that would be "MBE"). The subject's other reasons for notability were explained at length by RexxS, in WP:ANI#Damage done by declining AFC, recently.

Keep. I've been through this.(Littleolive oil (talk) 16:15, 15 August 2016 (UTC))[reply]
Keep. I thank Sir Joseph for bringing the article here as testing its notability is helpful in calibrating the work done at AFC. My keep does not rely on WP:ANYBIO - although I do consider OBE a not-insignificant award - but on WP:GNG "topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject ... Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material ... no fixed number of sources required ... but multiple sources are generally expected". In the source "Lifetime Contribution award for small business mentor Tony Robinson". The Press (York), Robinson is the main topic. In the source "Why daring to be different can be good for business". The Guardian, Robinson has a section covering an interview with him. Two decent examples of coverage in major newspapers is sufficient to meet GNG. --RexxS (talk) 17:09, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. KGirlTrucker81^{talk what I'm been doing} 18:00, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep presumed notable per WP:GNG. Multiple instances of in-depth coverage from reliable, independent sources. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 21:51, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Clearly adequate indicia of notability, meets WP:N. Montanabw^(talk) 23:31, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Clearly notable, agree with comments above. LazyLilac (talk) 09:16, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
