The result was keep. Overall consensus is that he meets LAWYER & GNG & As the nom hasn't objected to any of the replies I'm wrapping it up as Keep. (non-admin closure) –Davey2010Talk 01:22, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

I don't believe Circuit judges in England and Wales are de facto notable individuals. There are over 600 of these and they rank below high court judges. All of my recent AFD nominations of English and Welsh Circuit judges have reached a consensus to delete, but of course each AFD should still be judged independently.

- Keep Notable judge. Andrew D. (talk) 17:56, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- Keep: Queen's Counsel, and according to WP:LAWYERS "A lawyer who has received an appointment that indicates pre-eminence within the profession, such as Queen's Counsel or serjeant at law or senior counsel, shall be treated in the same manner as a person who satisfies criteria 1 of WP:ANYBIO (which relates to significant and well known awards or honours)".DuncanHill (talk) 01:39, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
::Additional obituary in The Times, in itself a good claim to notability. And in the Telegraph. Obits in two major national newspapers argues extremely strongly for notability. DuncanHill (talk) 14:38, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- Keep: As DuncanHill points out, WP:LAWYERS cites QC as notable. Sounds like you're clearing out some other underbrush, though, keep it up! Chris vLS (talk) 06:33, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
