Deletion of Donald Hardie

Comment: Meets the minimum requirement for  as a brigadier, and the CVO, Lord Lieutenant and Who's Who entries get him over the line quite easily IMO. Regards

Comment: Per  we keep articles on all general officers or equivalent (which includes brigadiers). Although it is not an official guideline, it is accepted by most editors who regularly work on military articles. The Lord-Lieutenant is the representative of the Queen in the county. That is also generally considered to be a notable post and Lord Lieutenant of Dunbartonshire|has its own article. I should point out in addition that Hardie has an entry in ''Who's Who'' and, although the article did not mention it when nominated for deletion, is a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order, a level of honour which has generally been held to satisfy  #1 (e.g. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Diana Babar|this, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vernon Stewart Laurie|this, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arthur Gordon Matthew|this - the CVO is an equivalent grade to the CBE in a more senior order

Comment: because of the Commander of the Royal Victorian Order|CVO, verified by http://www.debretts.com/people-of-today/profile/15786/Donald-Graeme-HARDIE Debretts.  I would ''not'' say that merely being a brigadier in the reserves grants Wikipedia notability. It seems to ''fail''  as brigadier ''is not always considered by these armies to be a general officer rank
