Non notable aviator. He is mentioned in thepeerage.com but can't find him in Burke's Peerage (via a free search). Nothing in this article indicates notability besides being related to Lord Byron Gbawden (talk) 12:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

QuestionLöschen. Does receiving the Légion d'honneur confer notability? There is nothing else to make him notable. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 17:31, 2 March 2016 (UTC)- Answer to the above, in my view, is that conferral of the Légion d'honneur in itself may not justify sufficient notability for a Wiki entry, although it is undeniably a great honour. However, Wiki notes elsewhere qv: Aerial reconnaissance in World War a "recurrent pattern of reconnaissance not gaining recognition commensurate with its importance developed during these years". Here is a chance to redress that imbalance, not to mention his family connections (ie. with the Lords Byron & Lord Bingham of Cornhill) which, in other articles, seemingly would also qualify for his inclusion. Not sure why there is an issue? Many thanks. L'honorable (talk) 00:38, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
