Deletion of Jonathan Sandys

Comment: It may be useful for people to know that I pruned a huge amount from this article before it was taken to AfD.  My understanding is that the article's creator is a relative of Mr. Sandys and actually planned to expand the huge mass she contributed.  The pruned material was a glowing encomium and an exhaustive history of the subject's every move, comments on the countries he had visited, etc., all without any useful |secondary sources.  There may have been a pea under all those mattresses, but I doubt it.  There was a suggestion that the subject will receive a medal next month that seemed to have the potential of notability; I was unable to make up my mind, so I'll take no position here.  But if you want to wade through the original, it's in the edit history
