Keep I vividly remember the New Zealand security agency case. It generated years of media coverage. Given that was in the late 90s and early 2000s, it’s well possible that little to nothing of this material is online any longer. But it does mean that in-depth coverage does exist.

Keep per Schwede66. I added a more detail account of why he was a household name in New Zealand. I've also added a couple of obituaries which give substantial detail on his life to the article.-gadfium 19:01, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. His many books and their many reviews (some of which I added to the article) give a pass of WP:AUTHOR beyond the WP:GNG pass already demonstrated. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:43, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A ProQuest search makes it clear that a break-in to his house generated quite the fuss in late 90s. This secluded event may not generate notability on its own, but combined with his published works and their citations it's enough to make the subject notable.
