to Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion#The Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion 2010.  I acknowledge that receipt of the Queen's award confers some notability, but  is not the only guideline we should be looking to.  I have in mind something more like  or .  Consider what this article would look like if we removed mention of the Queen's award.  Would there still be a serious debate over the notability of the subject?  Perhaps some of the "keep" voters would say "yes", but what exactly would they point to?  We are told, for example, that the subject was involved in an enterprise intended to "incubate students' ideas".  But in the entire history of humanity, hasn't every educator set him/herself the task of "incubating students' ideas"?  We are also told that the subject was involved in getting students to visit local businesses.  In the U.S., we used to call these things "field trips".  Is there any school administrator today who hasn't organized field trips for their students?  All that I see in this article (other than the Queen's award) are locally-sourced statements that a school official has been doing the things that we normally expect school officials to do.  And what has become of the subject since receiving the award in 2010?  The article tells us that, in 2013, the subject sought to encourage students to become physically fit and acted as the chairman of a series of inter-school games.  We also learn that the subject had to reduce staff due to budget cuts.  Again, these are routine activities for which un-of-the-mill can be a useful guide.  As I noted above, I think a better target for a redirect would be a new article on the 2010 recipients of the award, but I'll respect Mr. Farmbrough's judgment that such an article is not advisable.  But the parent article can also serve as an appropriate target, at which a brief biography of the subject can be placed directly under his name
