This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because the text is based upon the biography of De Winton, held in the John Innes Centre Library and Archives. The text can be tweaked to be less exact, but copyright permission has been granted by JIC.
Comment to page creator: I have removed the speedy deletion, as only one sentence appeared to be copied from the source which Wikipedia identified as a possible copyright violation. However, it is clear that that source does not contain most of the information included in this draft article. You need to supply references, as inline citations, for the sources of the information. You say that the draft is based on a biography of the subject - does the library hold copyright in that biography? Did they write or publish the biography? If not, they may not hold copyright, and may not be able to grant permission for the text to be copied. It needs to be cited as a source anyway. In any event, it is preferable not to copy other works when writing Wikipedia articles. RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:01, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy deletion rationale: "This draft may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion as a copyright infringement(Copyvios report) of https://www.jic.ac.uk/blog/jbs-haldane-at-125/ (Duplication Detector report · Copyvios report). This criterion applies only in unequivocal cases, where there is no free-content material on the page worth saving and no later edits requiring attribution – for more complicated situations, see Wikipedia:Copyright violations. See CSD G12."
The Copyvios report shows "violation unlikely". Apart from personal names and the name of an institution, only one sentence is copied, and it can easily be edited. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:48, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
