Nothing on the page to suggest that the subject meets the notability standards for inclusion. Other than being a name in quite a long list of Canons of Windsor, there is nothing I can find to suggest he was a notable priest. JMWt (talk) 17:55, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - A canon, but that is as far as it goes. Does not meet presumed notability, and neither are there sufficient sources or information to suggest he meets GNG. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk)
Comment. (1) Roger mentions the subject (pp. 165-6) as a possible reformer. (2) Fasti Wyndesorienses (which appears to be a biographical dictionary of the deans and canons of Windsor) has something on p. 155, and is cited by Roger, but I can't read it online.
