BLP doesn't seem to meet WP:NBIO - lacks in-depth coverage in independent sources. MrsSnoozyTurtle 07:03, 27 March 2023 (UTC) reply

• Delete per nom. His book seems to be self-published, and the claim that his podcast is "ranked #1 on the Australian charts" isn't supported by the sources. The best reference looks to be this article (paywalled), which based on the title only discusses him to establish some credentials for the magazine-style piece. Walt Yoder ( talk) 15:51, 27 March 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment the article is somewhat better, but it still doesn't make any strong claims of notability. And the coverage seems to be more "him promoting his business" than "about him". Walt Yoder ( talk) 18:02, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply

• Delete Hyper-local coverage, interviews, as noted above WP:NAUTHOR hits self published as a barrier. Search complicated by a common name and a lack of notability. Fails WP:GNG. Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk) 10:10, 3 April 2023 (UTC) reply
• Delete: Article reads like a resume. ––– GMH Melbourne TALK 11:55, 3 April 2023 (UTC) reply

• Weak keep. Initially, I was inclined to vote delete per WP:TNT, but found some good work done by @ Hack: ( [1]) and it seems like the person barely passes WP:SIGCOV. Newcastle Herald [2] and Australian Broadcasting Corporation [3] are highly reliable sources. 206.83.103.190 ( talk) 16:13, 4 April 2023 (UTC) reply
• Weak keep per WP:HEY thanks to IP Editor. I also added a reference from The Adelaide Advertiser. Page still seems pretty skinny to me (multiple references from the one publication (Newcastle Herald) undermines independence of reliable sources). Cabrils ( talk) 23:36, 4 April 2023 (UTC) reply

• keep per Cabrils' analysis. Borderline notability; barely crosses it. Meets WP:GNG. 58.169.135.250 ( talk) 02:22, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply

Instead of a no consensus close, can we have a little more analysis, please? Courcelles ( talk) 13:26, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply
