This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --Vietnamvat (talk) 12:13, 21 July 2014 (UTC)Bertram Lamb Pearson was a very senior British civil servant in the 1940s and 1950s. He was Under Secretary at the Ministry of Education between 1946 and 1955. This was one of the most senior civil service positions in Britain at the time. It is quite normal to include civil servants of this calibre in Wikipedia.[reply]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (your reason here) --Vietnamvat (talk) 12:28, 21 July 2014 (UTC)It would also extremely arbitrary and inconsistent to delete this article, given the fact that so many other Wiki biographical articles on Under Secretarys at the Ministry of Education have been reviewed and accepted, presumably because it's well-understood that these people were extremely senior policy makers in national education policy.[reply]
