 * Keep - I reviewed the sources provided by colapeninsula above and concur that they represent the coverage needed to establish notability. In particular, the The Age, The Australian, Sydney Morning Herlad, and Scoop articles all feature Flynn and his book Tiger in Eden as the primary subject of the article. -- Whpq (talk) 16:40, 28 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. The sourcing is sufficient to satisfy WP:AUTHOR and WP:BK.  Qworty (talk) 00:09, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
