Unremarkable educator/academic. No notable achievements other than being headteacher of a middling private school. Bob Re-born (talk) 22:57, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Keep - Could do with filling out more when possible - but worth keeping. Clifton a "middling private school"? Me thinks not! $Brookie :) { - he's in the building somewhere!} (Whisper...)$ 09:18, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Weak delete As well as being head of one of the better known schools, I see Moore was national Eton Fives champion. However, I'm not sure this tips him into notability - Fives is quite a minor sport. Also, I cannot find anything other than passing mentions on web searches.--A bit iffy (talk) 16:53, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
Keep. He's in the British Who's Who and Wikipedia aims to be wider than that. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:41, 20 March 2013 (UTC).
Keep -- a quick look at Clifton College - a public school - shows that most of its past headmasters have articles; so why not the presetn one? Peterkingiron (talk) 17:22, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
Keep. A misguided nomination which, if we AGF, we must assume comes from a lack of knowledge of the British educational system. We Brits do love (and hate) our "public schools", and Clifton College is one of the original twenty-six such, as recorded back in the 19th century. I've just recently written [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anthony_Chenevix-Trench&diff=540021697&oldid=538916247 nearly ten thousand words], thoroughly referenced, about a headmaster of Eton. While I doubt every Clifton headmaster would justify quite that size of article, every one most certainly justifies a stub at the very least. The BBC News piece (one of many, I'm sure) indicates the guy would nearly pass GNG just on raw evidence. The position means it's certain. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 00:11, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
Keep headmaster of a major public school constitutes a successful career. Who's Who, is very traditional in its approach to notability, and therefore includes headmasters of the more notable schools, but I see nothing wrong with that. Barney the barney barney (talk) 13:12, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
Keep Arguably meets WP:ACADEMIC in that this person holds a major titled position at a notability academic institution. Mkdw ^talk 21:13, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
