Non-notable author. There are sources in the article, but they're either not independent, not in reliable sources (Youtube, a Perth GLBT community newspaper...), or they're minor (a short radio interview on an obscure programme five years ago). I just don't see the sort of independent reliable sources that we'd need to have an article on this fellow. It's not open and shut though, hence bringing it here for further discussion. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 11:34, 7 April 2010 (UTC) Withdrawn, somehow The Age link didn't come up when I googled for him, but I agree that that does put him over the line. My original rationale no longer holds so I am withdrawing this nomination (but I will allow someone else to close it for the sake of propriety).

KEEP :Anthony Venn-Brown (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) I am the author of this article and I included an article on Anthony Venn-Brown not just because he was an author but because of his community activism in the gay and lesbian community . And I know that people have been consulting this article in recent days . I don't think we should be excluding articles as reliable sources because they are GLBT newspapers - I think they are a valuable source of information . In terms of the radio program of 5 years ago - I hardly think a nationally broadcast abc radio program is not a valid source although it is now now 5 years old . However I have included some extra/more recent links in the article . I also need advice - Anthony Venn-Brown was recently interviewed on the ABC program - The Hungry Beast - can I include that as a link to the program even though the program can only be viewed by Australian viewers. frollus— Preceding unsigned comment added by Frollus (talk • contribs)

Keep The Age has coverage about him the includes family details, work history, and he's been recognised as one of Australias 25 most influential Gay people. add that to being an author he meets notability, thats ignoring the ABC interview mentioned by the articles author Gnan garra 15:02, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I can see the nominators concern - but I would consider the 2005 ABC link not minor (being an Abc-ophile might be my bias) - in that the link has been kept - many links from that era on the abc simply vanish for less notable issues. http://trove.nla.gov.au/result?q=anthony+venn+brown - I find interesting - the audio book and archived websites are the clincher for me Satu Suro 15:28, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
