Keep. Sourced to a reliable secondary source. Assertion of notability is in the first paragraph.

There is an assertion, yes, and he is mentioned in an obscure book. That could be said of many people - how does he meet
WP:BIO or
WP:GNG? Best wishes,

Yes, and many people are notable. He meets
WP:BIO and
WP:GNG per the text of those pages. e.g. "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." There's nothing there that says "obscure" books don't count. And you're only guessing that he gets no more than a "mention" in there. Well you've guessed wrong.

delete fails WP:BIO. coverage merely confirms he existed.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep it is nothing to do with an obscure book, or for that matter BIO, the person was a teacher of two very notable Western Australian historical characters - as verified by trove refs

Keep -- Being the first is likely to make him notable, though I would have liked to know more.
