Deletion of Chris Lightfoot

Comment: I am self-evidently biased (I'm a director of mySociety), but Chris was notable enough to have had a wordy obituary in ''The Times''; I'd suggest that in itself makes him notable enough to have an article here. To quote : "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field." — :en

Comment: Despite the fact that there are several obituary-type articles written about the subject, some of which have been mentioned above (and some of which have not: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/news/lastword_23mar2007.shtml), there nonetheless appears to be no prior coverage of the individual.  I'll grant that the obituaries contain some coverage and biographical information, but this is at odds with the fact that none of the individual's accomplishments were ever covered by |independent sources beforehand.  It seems as though many of these current obits draw from a |blog post by Tom Steinberg, a colleague of his.  I am also a little concerned about the number of |single-purpose accounts contributing here, and want to address some of the arguments above
