Not notable. Judge at low-level trial courts. Lacks coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. One of a glut of articles on seemingly non notable St Peter's College old boys. Wikipedia is not a webhost for a collection bios of a schools former students. duffbeerforme (talk) 09:45, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Does his presence in New Zealand Who's Who convey any notability? I don't know how reliable/independent this volume is, or whether you can pay for inclusion, or how exclusive it is. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:04, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See Alister Taylor for the publisher. That suggests to me not a reliable source. duffbeerforme (talk) 01:47, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no evidence of real notability. No in depth coverage in independent sources. If such sources are added to the article, feel free to ping my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk) 19:44, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There are many news sources that report on court cases in which he served as judge and thus his name comes up tangentially. However this will be true for any judge in the course of duties - court cases often end up in the news. None of the cases are very high profile. Otherwise unable to find sources about the judge himself. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 20:50, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
