Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sir Edward Threston
Whilst I heartily endorse keeping someone who's been knighted in the modern era under , since knighthood is awarded for achievement, I really don't think we can extend that to medieval knights, who were usually knighted as teenagers because their father was also a knight and not for any especial distinction. Essentially, they were equivalent to baronets (hereditary knights) today; the first to receive the honour is inherently notable, but his successors aren't. Threston wouldn't have been knighted because he was a Knight Templar, as the article says; he would have become a Knight Templar ''because'' he was knighted (lesser individuals joined the order as brother sergeants). There's no evidence he was especially notable
