A number of terribly impressive looking roles for this gentleman, who achieves notability with none of them, particularly Chancellor of the Diocese of Manchester and President of the Lancashire Parish Register Society, whose obituary of him is one of two sources presented here, the other being a PDF of officers of the Chetham Society. Notability not established per WP:GNG. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 09:06, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment it’s a bit borderline but he might squeak in as a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Edinburgh. Mccapra (talk) 09:14, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, in this context, "Fellow" means "Member". St Anselm (talk) 16:21, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sure but in this case it’s highly selective isn’t it? There are only 2500 today. Mccapra (talk) 20:22, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This was why I added the 'stub' to the article because I hoped others might be able to add more details (since I could find only those sources listed and there might be others). Though no individual role qualifies him, I did consider that the unique combination: Chancellor of the Diocese plus President of LPRS and Treasurer of Chetham Society plus Lecturer, barrister, historian, plus FRSA FSAScot. and FCollP plus publications might mean that this did not get deleted. I've seen other biographies of 'notable' people who have achieved less but - if you want to delete it then go ahead. Thanks.Amidtours (talk) 10:46, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- I would like to keep this, but I fear that none of this is quite enough to make him notable. Editing two volumes of parish registers and a heraldic visitation does not seem enough for notability. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:26, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, yes an interesting life but we just don't have coverage which suggests notability. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 18:15, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete agree, not much for notability, long titles for jobs that aren't that notable. Oaktree b (talk) 16:59, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Lancashire Parish Register Society, as the subject is mentioned there as a former president and so readers looking for him should be directed there. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 09:17, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Lancashire Parish Register Society – a few basic source searches are only providing directory listings and faint passing mentions. Doesn't appear to meet WP:BASIC. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 14:04, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
