Youth Hostels Association (England & Wales): Fails GNG and NBIO. Single source in article is OBIT, with all the normal issues that go with using OBITs as sources. BEFORE showed nothing that meets WP:IS WP:RS with WP:SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. Ping me if SIGCOV sources from WP:IS are added to the article. GNG requires multiple, IS, SIGCOV, sources. //

- There is absolutely nothing wrong with using obits in national newspapers as sources. Not sure why you think there is. By capitalising, you seem to be suggesting that the page you want is WP:OBIT, which I'm sure isn't it given it has no relevance to this article. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 14:30, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

- Keep: I expanded the article and added more sources. Although I would like to see additional sources (especially on his work designing railroad carriages), I am convinced that Meaby is notable and worthy of coverage beyond the suggested link to the organization's article. I also agree that a bi-line obituary in The Guardian pretty much proves notability. Rublamb ( talk) 17:55, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Final relist, to consider recent expansion/addition of sources by Rublamb.
