Comment: Subject does not meet Wikipedia notability criteria (see WP:GNG). Two of the five references do not mention him at all (re William McCrum); there are no citations for his early life and education; and only his RR appointments have brief mentions in sources. I have moved the existing citations into the body copy, but the article needs additional citations (as indicated) to substantiate other assertions. Paul W (talk) 15:34, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
