no visible notability besides a youth award. I'd accept Australian of the Year as notable, but not Young Australian of the Year, because such awards usually translate as "not yet notable"  DGG ( talk ) 02:39, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Only thing is a not-so-notable award. Promising person, too soon. --Randykitty (talk) 13:34, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

 * delete he seems to have taken a number of roles since winning young Australian of the year., ,  And was featured on national broadcaster in 2004 . LibStar (talk) 10:55, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * my mistake, definitely meant to say keep. LibStar (talk) 02:15, 1 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep, recipient of a notable award. Also, found sustained independent and substantial coverage, including from Landline, ABC Radio, and a TV appearance on George Negus Tonight.  Some of the coverage came years after he got the award in 2001, which would indicate that his notability is not based on that one event.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 10:59, 28 February 2014 (UTC).
 * Keep - the consensus on the other articles nominated is that the award is indeed notable. StAnselm (talk) 11:14, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - sources identified by Lankiveil suggest the subject meets WP:N. Orderinchaos 16:53, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge or Redirect - While I feel that the Young Australian of the Year Award definitely does confer notability, there is little other information in this article. I think maybe merging to List of Young Australian of the Year Award recipients and expanding the table to allow the a blurb from information on this page would be a better option than outright deletion, unless someone is able to expand the article.

 * Merge or Delete without expansion. As the article currently stands, it does not establish notability. If someone wants to try expanding it with his current roles/jobs, then perhaps it would be different. But I don't think there should be an article on every Young Australian of the Year. A list (similar to the lists of alumni of schools) would make more sense.  Enigma msg  18:26, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Lakiveil's earlier comments. Dan arndt (talk) 06:49, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
