The result was speedy keep. The nom hasn't even bothered with searching for sources as these have all been nominated within seconds of each other. No objections to speedy renomination by anyone except the nom. (non-admin closure) –Davey2010^Talk 01:37, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: He held the elected offices of Provost and Councillor in his local area. Beyond this, he had an active national role for more than a decade, on groups such as the Economic Committee and the Scottish Council on Industry. The award of the CBE is a reflection of this. There is coverage of this in reliable sources. He passes WP:GNG. Drchriswilliams (talk) 11:09, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per long consensus that the CBE proves notability under WP:ANYBIO #1. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:06, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
