Biography with notability issues and backed by just a couple of references, concentrating on one incident. There's no reliable source that goes into the details about his crime, apart from a couple of autobiographies that the individual wrote. MT TrainDiscuss 17:50, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. Besides his own 2 books (which might be grounds for AUTHOR, did not assess), he has received SIGCOV for his flying and counterfeiting - both in major newspapers and in books. He is also covered by the Sydney Crime Musuem, which would seem to indicate lasting signifcance.Icewhiz (talk) 20:46, 18 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep. There are numerous mentions of him in books other than his own, and sufficient coverage on him in newspapers and other sites (not just for the airplane stunt). These in addition to the Sydney Crime Museum would seem to merit encyclopedic inclusion. Since the person has been dead nearly 35 years it's not like this is a self-promotional article.

 * Delete -- A serial crook who wrote a book about his misdeeds and performed a stunt reported in national papers. Surely that is not enough to make him WP-notable.  Peterkingiron (talk) 21:13, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - per Wp:GNG per WP:CRIME. Per numerous mentions in books. And overall coverage.BabbaQ (talk) 09:44, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets WP:CRIME and WP:GNG as BabbaQ mentioned. WAPO and NYT specific coverage of incident in New York. Also I think it may meet the specific requirement in WP:CRIME for a crime being executed in an unusual manner. Operator873 CONNECT 01:04, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
