• Keep. Meets WP:BASIC. Clicking the "books" link in the nomination template we can readily find SIGCOV.
  1. Multiple pages of SIGCOV in [1]
  2. Multiple pages here [2]
  3. A paragraph of coverage in [3]

We can check google news, proquest, and elsewhere for more sources to verify and expand the article, but this is sufficient for WP:BASIC.

Based on what I see in these secondary sources, this subject seems to meet WP:NJOURNALIST.1 for work in exposing organized crime ultimately affecting the legal landscape.

The article itself needs some copyediting to improve the flow and the tone, and help the reader understand what about the subject is notable in particular, but it isn't written at all like the promotional articles we see regularly. —siroχo 20:13, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

• Keep. Important anti-corruption crusader. The NSW govt changed the aged of consent laws to imply that he had committed some sort of crime.--Grahame (talk) 08:12, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
• Strong keep. Sails past WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:AUTHOR. Also, keep per WP:HEY-- I have added numerous RSs. Cabrils (talk) 23:18, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
