This is a challenged speedy-- checking it, I consider the person non-notable, but there are references, though not very satisfactory ones, and only to what appears a rather routine career as a  lawyer.  DGG ( talk ) 22:09, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Henry Family of New Zealand, which itself could benefit from a massive cleanup. Un  sch  ool  00:06, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep, easily meets WP:N, country's largest newspaper The New Zealand Herald has 161 exact matches, many of which involve his client, former foreign minister Winston Peters. XLerate (talk) 00:21, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets WP:N in my opionion. Article could do with a good cleanup. It's always nice when notability is obvious from reading the article!Wikipeterproject (talk) 18:05, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Probable Keep - While being Winston's lawyer doesn't confer notability in itself, it has resulted in a lot of news coverage and I'm sure I've seen an extended profile of him somewhere in the past. Article needs cleanup and inline citations. dramatic (talk) 22:13, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Henry was a key player in the biggest political controversy in New Zealand last year, around NZ First donations and his involvement in the Winebox inquiry was extensive. The article clearly needs improvement, but I can assure DGG his legal career has been anything but "routine". Dean B (talk) 20:29, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - He's had a lot of press coverage over at least two issues (one of them very protracted). As Dean B says, the article clearly needs improvement. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:49, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
