Keep A member of the forerunner to the Royal Society of Arts, published author, temple clerk and featured in the Dictionary of National Biography certainly push him beyond the notability guideline. Four references added to the slightly expanded/cleaned up article. Philg88 ^♦talk 05:24, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- In that case, I withdraw this notification due to the Notability standards. --75 * 19:15, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
