Sorry Sitush, just saw this now. It looks like it's him: couldn't find another source giving his middle names, but he's referred to as "Ian D. D. Eaves" frequently in regards to his publications, and the Society of Antiquaries site gives him the MVO post-nominal. Removing the notability banner, as this should put it beyond doubt.

@Usernameunique: The RVO is a bauble in the gift of the monarch. It isn't terribly significant as an award as many of her staff receive it in one class or another. Little more than receiving an MBE, in my opinion. I know several people who are members of the order but have no articles (well, not yet anyway - if we're going to go down this road of it conferring some sort of inherent notability ...) - Sitush (talk) 08:00, 7 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Sitush, the MVO and other such awards are indicia of notability, not of other peoples' willingness to write about them. Nor do they confer notability; they recognize that which already exists. There are exceptions of course, but were you to create the unwritten articles you write about, I doubt you would face much resistance. I do enjoy the turn of phrase "a bauble in the gift of the monarch", though. --Usernameunique (talk) 08:12, 7 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
