The result was keep. Closing early per SNOW. Only a few hours left. Anyone who disagrees with my close may ping my at my UTP and I will undo the close and leave for an administrator. (non-admin closure) MaxnaCarta ( talk) 00:05, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Not notable individual, while on first glance this looks well-sourced a close look at the references reveal they are nothing more than a malformed hodgepodge of passing mentions, primary sources, and unreliable sources. The only half-decent source is the collection of his papers in the State Library of Western Australia, meaning that he fails WP:GNG. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 23:21, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
Weak keep. There seems to be some coverage of him in the news archives at ( https://trove.nla.gov.au) His role of Deputy Auditor General (missing currently from the article) would seem to be significant, as would his work for the Australian Museum for two decades. It's borderline, but I do think the library holding on him is a significant indicator of notabilty which pushes this over into the keep side. 4meter4 ( talk) 19:34, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
Keep. His papers being kept by the State Library of Western Australia indicate his importance. As a pioneer of the nature conservation movement in Australia he should be profiled. SproulesLane ( talk) 01:18, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
