Comment - will investigate later, but
OBE in the title is an assertion of notability. Only a few are awarded every year - a public service honour. The article is useless at the moment however.

Keep did some googling, and I found this about Mulryne and the OBE:
[1]...his name is on there as an honoree. I'm going to say the guy is notable and needs an improved article/stub.

Delete; an OBE is indeed a British honour, but we award about 500 a year so its not the best guide to notability. Also, I'm concerned that the page was started by
Wilfredmulyrne and this is the only contribution by this user. Blatant vanity, I'm afraid.

Comment If the decision is to keep this then the 'OBE' part of the title should be removed. I assume it's part of the Style Manual somewhere that we do not include honours in the page title (except in redirects, such as
Sir Harrison Birtwistle).

Delete Retired headmaster gets an OBE at retirement as a tribute. As JGF Wilks commented, they give out a lot of these (it's not like a knighthood). If he were American he might get a nice resolution of commendation from Congress, and it would mean about as much,
