This article fails WP:BIO and is largely unreferenced. The efforts of Lionel in bringing change to Family Law in Australia were remarkable, and his death came at a very unfortunate time, as his efforts were only managing to realise positive results. I knew Lionel personally, and while his passing was unfortunate, Wikipedia is not a memorial and sadly this article fails to meet the minimum standards of notability. -- Longhair\talk 20:49, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete unless properly sourced and referenced i.a.w. WP:BIO by end of this AfD Alf photoman 23:11, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - seems a worthy man and a sad loss but we don't do memorial pages. He was founder of OzyDads internet chatline, director of the Western Australian arm of the Shared Parenting Council of Australia, WA state coordinator of Fathers-4-Justice. Unfortunately for the fate of this BIO I cannot find any news articles, only one mention in the proceedings of a government committee and a hint that he ran as an independant candidate ( and lost) for the seat of Freemantle in state parliment. Nothing that satisfies WP:BIO particularly with the lack of press interest. - Peripitus (Talk) 00:00, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Unfortunately this article does not do Lionel justice. It doesn't assert notability and if the sources exist then I'm sure they would have been provided by now looking at the history.Garrie 10:11, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Nothing personal, but I cannot see the notability of the person as distinct from the cause. Jeendan 03:00, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
