Mr Iles does not appear to be independently notable of the organisation he heads, the Australian Christian Lobby. All of the sources available through a Google News search [1] are quoting him in previous roles with this organisation (which appears to have been where he has spent virtually his entire career) or brief mentions of him recently taking up the role of the Lobby's managing director. The only articles focused on him are this recent interview in The Australian (which is almost entirely about the Australian Christian Lobby's priorities, and includes only a few paragraphs about him) and a couple of recent biographies published on low profile religious news websites. As such, I don't think that WP:BASIC or WP:ANYBIO are met. Mr Iles can be covered as part of the article on the Lobby, which is notable, and if he becomes the subject of significant coverage an article can be created. Note that while we have articles on the Lobby's previous managing directors, John Gagliardi (Australian) appears borderline at best, Jim Wallace (Australian activist) was notable before taking up the position due to his Army career, and Lyle Shelton (lobbyist) received significant coverage due to his prominent role in the campaign to try to stop gay marriage. Mr Illes has not yet been the subject of such coverage. Nick-D (talk) 07:09, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Australian Christian Lobby. Nothing in this article that is not already covered on the ACL page. Iles' referenced comments and positions in this article are solely as the spokesperson for ACL, whose notability is not inheritable by its staff. -- Euryalus (talk) 09:08, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect for now. Subject is a likely search term. Probably WP:TOOSOON. Agree with analysis by NOM. Single non-inheritable cause for notability. Aoziwe (talk) 13:25, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
