Hi - thanks for the feedback. Re the notable versus well known point, the person in question has a school named in his honour. This school is attended by over 500 pupils. Does that not make him notable enough?

Re the point on verifiable sources - there is currently no information available online about James Dixon's life. The references I cite in the submission are to original newspaper articles from the 1950s - obviously this was pre-internet, but it doesn't mean that they don't exist. Do you have any advice on this?
