Talk:Walter Firth

Walter Firth is notable as the first person to be put into the position of mens officer anywhere in Australia and for that matter, in the world. He is also a part of the controversy of the Liberal club controlling UNESA, and whether it ever did anything good. Many people at the University of New England agreed with the formation of this position, and in future years people will be able to use it as a precedent to create this position elsewhere, and to show that even in the early 21st century gender discrimination still took place, and a mens officer was needed to make males behave nad stop discriminating against women.

 * But do large segments of the world know him? If not, then this article fails Wikipedia's notability test and he doesn't belong here. --TML1988 04:15, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

I think it should be kept too. It passes the validity test, and there are a couple of google hits to the name. Also, Samantha Aber, one of the links, has no real world importance either, in my opinion, if she is kept, then so should he. Besides, there is a lot of media on the UNE liberal club in the New England region and reports all around the world so it would appear that many people follow the actions of the UNE liberals making the article of relevance to people who follow the actions of the liberals, and with the closing of UNESA and further ongoing closures and problems at the university of New England this article may be of relevance in the near future too --Anna (UNE)

I say keep, as there are references in the Australian and other national newspapers over the position
