 * Comment as article creator, I initially based this stub on a full page interview/profile in The Guardian. A quick google gives 480 hits for "Kirk Dawes", the vast majority of which do seem to be about the article subject, and include further mentions in The Guardian, and also by the The Times, BBC, Sky News, Channel 4 and some of the large British regional newspapers such as the Birmingham Post and Yorkshire Evening Post, and in more academic contexts such as King's College London and the European Mediation Conference; and giving evidence to a House of Commons Select Committee, the Home Affairs Committee; and being used by other UK police forces to give advice.  I'll try to incorporate some of this into the article - I was a bit pressed for time when I originally wrote it, and then forgot to go back to it.  David Underdown (talk) 10:59, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: seems notable enough after expansion. Drmies (talk) 00:20, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Sources are clearly sufficient at this point. They may even have been sufficient in the version that was afd'd. DGG (talk) 19:52, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  MBisanz  talk 00:03, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep-- sources in the article are enough to establish notability.--J.Mundo (talk) 01:48, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
