Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christine Tacon
Recipient of the CBE, which we have ''always'' held to be notable per  #1. I really don't think that inclusion or not in arbitrary lists of 'high awards' is relevant. Wikipedia consensus is that recipients of these awards are notable, and rightly so. It is, for instance, the level of award given to very prominent actors and musicians who may fall slightly below the level required for a knighthood/damehood. Before appointment to her present post, Tacon spent twelve years as managing director of Co-operative Farms. She is now a senior civil servant. She holds the CBE. She has an entry in ''Who's Who (UK)|Who's Who''. Yet claims here appear to be that she is less notable than a footballer who has played a single professional match or a one-hit wonder pop singer, who would both get articles without question! The 'logic' of Wikipedia editors astounds me sometimes
