It is eligible according to the criteria though I think some additional work can be done here:
- Suggest a different wording for his family's origin. Car Nicobar is not a very known area in the world, so at first, I wasn't sure if that is an island, a settlement, a region, an ethnic group etc. It forced me to stop reading the article and go to the article about Car Nicobar.
- In 1906 he was sent to Burma... Do you know who sent him?
- Maybe expand the lead section a bit, with elements from the His legacy and second World War sections.

Otherwise you are good to go.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 09:15, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

The hook should specify that the Parliament is India's, not another country's. One presumes that English or Canadian bishops were members of their national parliaments way before Mr Richardson had a similar record in India. Dahn (talk) 16:44, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Above issues have not been addressed nor the article edited since the day the nomination was submitted, and the QPQ review is over five weeks past due despite last week's talk-page ping. This all needs to be addressed very soon if the nomination is to proceed. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:11, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Issues still unaddressed; marking for closure. Should the nominator return and begin work on the issues before this is closed, the review process can resume. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:50, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
