Receiving an award does not make you notable. I can't find any news articles about this person. Jerodlycett (talk) 04:17, 1 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Weak delete: A doctor and an athlete in one! Still not good enough, we have plenty of articles about both on here already. Supernerd11 Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 05:12, 1 April 2015 (UTC) Whoops, thought this was a WP:APRILFOOLS joke. Supernerd11 Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 13:05, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - Non-notable, no RS. BakerStMD 00:37, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: Subject of the article meet WP:ANYBIO.
 * The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times.
 * The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field. Subject of the article is a receiver of such award, Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM), a National Award. I think sources in Autralian languge exist but don't really have enough time to dig into that.Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 15:42, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep I added the source for the OAM. EricEnfermero (Talk) 17:43, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep based on the added material regarding her having been awarded the OAM. AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 02:50, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Question - Is there a consensus somewhere that being awarded OAM is automatically notable, in the way some of the higher Orders of the British Empire (but not the lower ones) have been? If so, can someone point me to that? Happy to change by !vote if this has been well considered elsewhere. BakerStMD 16:17, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 * To expand, significant debate has been had (here) about the notability of OBE awards, and if they do, in fact, automatically make someone notable under ANYBIO #1. BakerStMD 16:21, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Looking further, I see that the OAM is actually the most junior and least prestigeous of the Australian meritorious awards. I wonder, then, if it truly qualifies as a "significant award or honor" under ANYBIO #1. Regarding ANYBIO #2, I see little in the way of RS to establish her "widely recognized contribution ...[to the] historical record". BakerStMD 16:27, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 * The keywords here is the  Australian meritorious awards and since the award is in that category and is a notable award, other things (junior or senior) are irrelevant. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 17:27, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
