I believe this page meets the Wikipedia:Notability criteria. It is based on "significant coverage
in a reliable source independent of the subject", namely one of the four chapters in Famous British Trials II. The trial itself raised important questions regarding the interpretation on the M'Naghten Rules and was sufficiently controversial to form the basis of a Parliamentary debate on the issue.

Of course it's significant. Leave it. Malick78 09:33, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe Arthur Reginald French could have been Ronald True's stepfather, because he died in WW I in 1915 and the article states that in 1918 (or thereafter) the stepfather severed all contact with true. Arthur Reginald French also does not (from his biography) seem wealthy enough. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Menden Busstop (talk • contribs) 10:44, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well spotted. It does say in the source (which I've just checked) that, in February 1919, his stepfather - infuriated with him - severed all contact with him but "did allow" the continuation of an allowance. Whether his mother remarried between 1915 and 1919?--Kieronoldham (talk) 00:28, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
