fails WP:BIO. being a barrister to notable people doesn't give automatic notability. Almost all of the coverage is about him representing someone not him as a subject. LibStar ( talk) 13:12, 18 December 2015 (UTC) reply

• Keep The article is certainly in poor state, but he is one of the best known criminal law barristers in the country. A google search of his name provides an article about him by The Age and an interview by the ABC. Searching further finds other articles that examines (and criticizes) his work, not just who he represents. So I definitely believe there is enough to establish notability.
