Deletion of Murdo Maclean

Comment: firstly, a knighthood is not the "lowest rank of honour", but it constitutes a fairly selective and prestigious type of state honour above a large number of other awards at companion, officer or member grade (e.g. the CBE, OBE and MBE). There are about 20 knights bachelor appointed in the twice-yearly honours lists out of a UK population of over 60 million people, and for that reason knighthoods are typically held to meet #1. Aside from that, I've added further sources where he is the subject – two articles in ''The Times'' (one entirely about him and the other substantially so), plus discussion of his work in one of Andrew Marr's books; there is more still out there, according to Google searches, but I think this clearly passes notability threshold now. His entry in the UK version of ''Who's Who (UK)|Who's Who'', which is selective, published by Oxford University Press and not a vanity publication, is further evidence of this (IMO very clear) notability

Comment: All knights are notable per . We have always held that anyone who holds a CBE or above satisfies those criteria. If the nominator thinks a knighthood is the lowest rank in the honours system they clearly know absolutely nothing about the British honours system
