The subject claims to notability are that he was a schoolboy rugby player, who played for a 'A' Division club in Sri Lanka in 1976, who then emigrated to Australia where he was a prison guard. Upon retirement he self-published a coffee table book on wildlife in Sri Lanka. Fails to satisfy WP:ANYBIO, WP:AUTHOR or WP:NRU. Dan arndt (talk) 01:43, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as there's nothing convincing having examined the article; the nearest he would've come was an author but that article also overall is saying it's not an outstanding career either. SwisterTwister talk 04:02, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
