Keep. Director General of Health for Tasmania. Castlemate (talk) 04:20, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Quite sufficient alone here to support WP:NEXIST to support WP:GNG. Aoziwe (talk) 08:02, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I went to the first 15 hits there. There is one short article about his death, two others was him giving a quote about someone dying/hospital incident, the other 12 were all lists of people enlisting in the war/receiving something or returning and did not have any description of him, or was his own diary entry published in the newspaper.

Yes there are a wide range of references to the subject here. There are 65 of them in that explicit search result. They are spread over three to four decades in multiple independent reliable sources with editorial overview. I suggest there is sufficient to demonstrate notability.

Weak keep per Aoziwe's sources. The Drover's Wife (talk) 09:17, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - the best of Aoziwe's sources are actually already cited (the extensive Examiner obit and then the account of the cremation in the Advocate). The rest aren't great, but combined with these get him over the line in my opinion. Frickeg (talk) 10:47, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for five reasons: 1 –This one also has entry in Who's Who in Australia which is authoritative reference material used by academics as a resource that identifies Australia's leading individuals, and as a research tool by journalists and historian. It is equivalent of Dictionary of National Biography and all its entries passes WP:ANYBIO #3. Number 2 and 3 –He passes WP:ANYBIO #1 as well as WP:NACADEMIC #2 as a holder of the Officer of the Order of the British Empire, a well known and significant national honor. Number 4, –Passes WP:NACADEMIC #3. He was Fellow of renown academic society during his life. Number 5 –He received enough coverage to pass WP:GNG in reliable sources as the sources in the article already show. This is another among the most misthought and careless nominations in the recent –Ammarpad (talk) 13:05, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
