A fact from Denys Page appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 October 2020 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
A British academy fellowship certainly; a knighthood, arguably not these days it would depend on what the grounds for award were (after all is every Sir Civil Servant notable?) DNB, again debatable, it's a listing sure, but without more details it's hard to judge. The addition of the fellowship was enough for me to pull the speedy tag, which was added when there was very little information at all. However note that the full dnb listing used as a reference requires a login; so should be replaced with a free information source anyone can view. --Blowdart | talk14:38, 24 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
The DNB is freely accessible to anyone with a local-authority library card from the UK, and through inter-library agreements at many public libraries and educational establishments worldwide. DuncanHill (talk) 14:42, 24 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
So not open to all then. I have an athens account myself, but the fact there is a barrier to entry means it is not that useful a useful citation and a free and open one would be better. --Blowdart | talk15:24, 24 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

The organisation was called the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS). Its wartime evacuation station was Bletchley Park (Station X). The intelligence produced was classified ULTRA (beyond Top Secret) and the product became known by that name. The XX Committee (cover name: The Twenty Club) was an inter-services liaison committee to manage the feedback of spurious intelligence to the German Spy Services.
