 * Keep per Missvain's sources, which clearly establish notability. AfD is not cleanup. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 09:18, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

(edit conflict)
 * Keep I was disappointed to not find anything in The Age of the SMH, although perhaps not surpised! I would have been happier if there was something in main stream media other than just a brief obit in SBS, but this pushed me from a weak keep to a keep.  My main concern remaining is is it "Banat" or "MATW" which is actually the notable subject here?  Aoziwe (talk) 10:33, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
