Delete: not sufficiently notable, unless being a British imperial provincial commissioner is now classed as sufficient to make a guy notable. Delete.

Keep. Not only was he a provincial commissioner (clearly a notable post, despite the claims of the nominator), but he was also a recipient of the CMG, which we have always considered to satisfy the requirements of
WP:ANYBIO #1. --

keep No policy-based reason for deletion. The nominator seems to have a WP:COI with User:MJT21.--

Comment I'm inclined to think he's notable, especially given the nominator's record of nominating notable people, to say the least. Most concretely, my impression is that the post of Provincial Commissioner in colonial Kenya was equivalent to a governor's post in most places. However, is a CMG, the lowest grade of the order, much to go by? —

We have generally held that the CBE or higher is enough to confer notability. So yes, the CMG is sufficient. --

Keep a notable post and notable award. --

Keep. CMG satisfies criteria 1 of WP:ANYBIO.
