No indication of notability. Seems nice enough but not sure there is enough to satisfy WP:GNG Slywriter (talk) 14:59, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning keep, but hoping for feedback. Does having a Order of the British Empire confer any notability? Also:

I think there's a mention here, maybe discounted as routine notifications?: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jun/12/queens-birthday-honours-list-2014-mbe
His obituary does seem to have editorial oversight, so I think legit for notability? https://www.thejc.com/news/obituaries/dr-lionel-kopelowitz-jp-mbe-1.495410
The book in the article has significant coverage, I'm certain of that
Lots of quotes in serious newspapers.
He gets 8 mentions in Brook, S. (1996). The club: the Jews of modern Britain. London: Constable.

Comment He's published quite a number of articles in the British Medical Journal in the 1980s, might be notable as an academic. Oaktree b (talk) 01:27, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As for the Order of the British Empire, he's an MBE, so the lowest grade. They include (in order of precedence):

   GBE, KBE or DBE (Knight or Dame) - Knight or Dame of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire
   CBE - Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire
   OBE - Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire
   MBE - Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire [1]

Leaning notable. Oaktree b (talk) 01:31, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Withdrawing as believe the significant amount of publishing establishes notability when coupled with already available sources.Slywriter (talk) 02:00, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
