The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. I don't see a reason to keep this AfD running given that the nominator was blocked for disruptive editing combined with the unanimous consensus to keep. (non-admin closure) LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 02:41, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable as a knight and as a vice-admiral. Listed in a biographical dictionary, Blue Book (1970). I could only find one journal article authored or co-authored by Bradbury, https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(45)90780-X/fulltext Eastmain (talk • contribs) 06:14, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- He was also in who's Who. https://www.google.com/books/edition/Who_s_who/mK4KawdOUDMC?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=Eric+Blackburn+Bradbury&dq=Eric+Blackburn+Bradbury&printsec=frontcover Eastmain (talk • contribs) 06:21, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Eastmain, Is Who's Who a reliable source? Don't they offer to put anyone on their list if they're willing to pay a fee? — Jacona (talk) 22:16, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep KBE and Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. Mccapra (talk) 06:34, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment / Query Currently not very convinced by the arguments presented so far. For example, being an admiral is not an automated notability pass (Even the old notability essay WP:NSOLDIER is explicitly deprecated) and Who's Who is considered generally unreliable. @Eastmain:, is "Blue book" a standard national biography of the same type/caliber as Dictionary of National Biography, i.e. does it in your view fit WP:ANYBIO#3? @Mccapra:, do you reckon that Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons meets WP:NPROF#3 or WP:ANYBIO#1? -Ljleppan (talk) 09:28, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't looked into the fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons, because a KBE certainly passes WP:ANYBIO. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:04, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the clarification, this makes it a rather clear keep for me based on the KBE, even if the other aspects are more red herrings. Ljleppan (talk) 15:34, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Passes WP:ANYBIO having "received a well-known and significant award or honour", ie KBE and FRCS; also held senior role in the Royal Navy, ie Medical Director-General of the Navy Piecesofuk (talk) 17:47, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep KBE satisfies WP:ANYBIO. Mztourist (talk) 10:42, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. KBE very obviously satisfies WP:ANYBIO #1. Very odd first edit from anybody. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:25, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Note that the nominator has now been blocked for disruptive editing. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:31, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Seems to pass WP:GNG. Sufficient material for a useful article. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 23:27, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep KBE satisfies WP:ANYBIO. Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 22:03, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Straightforward case of WP:ANYBIO and clearly satisfies WP:GNG. Nominator has been blocked as WP:NOTHERE. Shawn Teller (talk) 02:37, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
