Notability
Hi User:Piotrus, In response to your request for evidence of how this person meets notability requirements, Criterion 1 of WP:JOURNALIST states: "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." Wilkie's articles are cited in many academic works, which also comment on his travel to and reports from countries like Indonesia (not something which journalists often did in the 1950s and 60s). Examples of books and articles citing his articles, and commenting on his work, include Australian Policies and Attitudes Toward China By Henry Stephen Albinski ; From Vienna to Yogyakarta By Jemma Purdey ; Enriched relations: public diplomacy in Australian-Indian relations, edited by David Lowe, Amit Sarwal ; Transnational Protest, Australia and the 1960s by Jon Piccini ; ' ‘Mind versus heart’ The lost Asian moment in Australian universities' by Joan Grant (a review of FROM VIENNA TO YOGYAKARTA: THE LIFE OF HERB FEITH by Jemma Purdey) ; 'The Great Killings in Indonesia through the Australian mass media' by Richard Tanter ; 'Problems of Australian Foreign Policy January-June 1959' by J.A.C. Mackie - and I haven't even looked in JSTOR or other databases yet. There is also an oral history interview in the National Library of Australia. I don't think there's any question of his notability as a journalist, and a lot more could be added to this article (information and references). RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:27, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
 * With around 1,000 bylined articles in the 20 years to 1955 and hundreds of (mostly critical) references within that time (as covered by Trove), I think he is unquestionably notable, and have removed that tag. Doug butler (talk) 04:57, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Another Douglas Wilkie
Prolific Melbourne historian Douglas Wilkie (The rush that never started : forgotten origins of the 1851 gold discoveries in Victoria) is probably not closely related to the subject of this article. Doug butler (talk) 22:57, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
