Deletion of Anthony Irby (1577–1610)

Comment: Knighthood most certainly does meet  #1. My list cited above (which, despite attempts to rubbish it by bitter deletionists who don't want to acknowledge the consensus, is a full list of relevant discussions and not in any way cherry-picked) is not just about CBEs - please actually read it before commenting. But given knighthood is above a CBE, if a CBE is notable then a knighthood clearly counts as "a well-known and significant award or honor". I'm astonished that anyone would think otherwise
