Non-notable individual lacking ghits and Gnews of substance. Article lacks references to support notability. Fails WP:BIO. red dog six (talk) 15:15, 23 January 2013 (UTC) Hello. I am in the process of adding content and references to this page. I am not sure how the assertion can be made that an individual is non-notable by someone who does not know the individual (albeit a bot that created the message?). I guess it is up to the page creator to present the content in such a manner that the notability of the subject is more obvious. Still, I find the the statement "non-notable" offensive given what I know about the subject, and what those in the Australian engineering fraternity know about this subject.

 * Comment, we do not "speedy delete" anything per WP:GNG. Take a look at WP:CSD.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 07:05, 27 January 2013 (UTC).

Over the course of the next day or so I will add more content to the page in order to demonstrate the groundbreaking technical work that Mr Sizer has undertaken, and also his work in the public engineering arena. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.240.208.163 (talk) 20:45, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Notability has a special meaning on Wikipedia (see WP:Notability), and saying somebody's non-notable shouldn't be taken as an insult, it just means they don't meet Wikipedia's particular requirements, which include the requirement that somebody must have coverage in published media (see WP:RS and WP:V). Please add any sources you know, and the article may still be kept. --Colapeninsula (talk) 21:20, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for the explanation. It seems difficult for even engineers of exceptional talent and principle to be noticed - we (I am an engineer also) tend to "fly under the radar", and do not self-promote, even when urged to do so, and so I urge you to consider this also. In the engineering community, we are talking about a person of real significant - and I hope we can seen others revealed in the process. I have added references to a number of inventions that Mr Sizer has been involved in. Let me know if any more material is required. Thanks. Whirly bits (talk) 21:53, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello - can we draw this deletion debate for this page to a conclusion either way please - it is hardly flattering for the subject of the page. Whirly bits (talk) 22:00, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
