Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mike Farrar
This nomination is a clear example of |wikilawyering overcoming |common sense. Just because we don't have a notability guideline for bureaucrats on the lines of  it doesn't mean that we have to delete articles about obviously notable bureaucrats. This guy was in charge of primary care in the NHS, i.e. he ran the service that 99% of the population of England use when they get sick (for those outside the UK, private ''primary'' care is almost non-existent here). How on earth can that not be considered to confer notability? I've also fleshed out the article a bit to demonatrate that the subject has not followed a typical career path for a senior civil servant
