I don't think this person meets the general notability criteria. The article itself is just a summary / rewording of what is contained in the single source - the newspaper obituary. Biker Biker (talk) 14:57, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As the author I'd like to defend this entry. google the Matburn Suction Pump and you'll see it's still widely used in medical procedures. And as the framer at the Royal College of Arts was responsible for restoring many notable works of art. {{User:Dansager]] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dansager (talk • contribs) 16:12, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not notable: If the pump was notable, it we would have an article on it. Your claim that he he notable because of this is insufficient.Curb Chain (talk) 17:38, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete He had some interesting life experiences, and it would not be surprising if he had some coverage in reliable sources, but all that is presented in an obituary, and it is just not enough to satisfy WP:BIO. Edison (talk) 21:00, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Edison. WP is not a memorial for interesting but non-notable dead people. Bearian (talk) 20:48, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
