Not Notable Ammar gerrard117 (talk) 03:46, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No sources, no indication of notability, and the article creator's nick implies they're a relative of the subject. 15:01, 20 July 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Edward321 (talk • contribs)

Keep. Has recieved a notable award or honor with the QSM [1], so he complies with WP:BIO. --Amalthea (talk) 12:47, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. According to this NZ Herald article more than 80 people received the QSM this year alone. God help us if they are all notable, along with the thousands of other people who must have received it since 1975. --Helenalex (talk) 01:04, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the ref Henalex gave is only one of two rounds of honours each year. QSM is about the lowest level of honour. Otherwise it lacks references and is basically a genealogy entry (esp given its form 24 hours ago). dramatic (talk) 08:57, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, can't find any evidence of notability other than the award, and on its own it doesn't seem enough. If it indicated notability, you'd expect to find at least one little article about the subject, but all I can find is quotes from him as a surf club representative.

Delete as per Ryan Paddy. Bondegezou (talk) 16:39, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

delete. My Nana has a QSM, she should get a page. Plan 8 (talk) 22:56, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I note that the last paragraph of the current version gives a reference of self and the article is signed immediately after. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 07:55, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
