Tim Hammond (Australia)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I A7 CSDed this, but have been persuaded that I might have been incorrect. Thus I have restored it, and am instead tossing it up for a full AFD discussion to give it a chance at a fuller debate. In general, I am just not persuaded of the notability of the subject. In the listed references, Mr Hammond is not the subject of any of them, instead most of the article simply contain quotes from him about the article's subject. And some of them the quotes are fairly trivial at that. I could be wrong, and if this debate goes that direction, so be it, but I just do not see the notability here.

 * Comment I am not going to support either keep or delete for this article but I must admit, the only lawyer I can think of that is notable of their own Wikipedia article is the fictional Atticus Finch from To Kill A Mockingbird. -- The Legendary   Sky Attacker  07:46, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

I just checked. Atticus Finch. He does have his own article. I always knew he was notable. -- The Legendary   Sky Attacker  07:47, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete This appears to be nothing but Mr Hammond's CV, and the references provided are about court cases, not him, so WP:BIO isn't met. Nick-D (talk) 08:36, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete G11. This is a CV for a prospective ALP politician ("Tim is passionate about indigenous issues..."), who seems to be following the same path as Julia Gillard to politics, through an internship at Slater & Gordon. This can be resubmitted if and when he meets WP:POLITICIAN. -- Mattinbgn\talk 08:52, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's really an advert; let's let this one run its course. Stifle (talk) 10:00, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I won't speedy delete it myself, but not only is it an advert, it is as blatant as I have seen here since the Qld election! All written using the subject's first name, listing all the boards and associations the subject has been involved with, etc. Slap an ALP logo on it and it could be placed in letterboxes across Perth! -- Mattinbgn\talk 10:50, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment - As a local and 'adjacent' to the writers locality in a manner of speaking I have left a few bits of information at the eds talk page - clearly the editor has no handle on what constitutes an encyclopediac biography stub - the detail is embarrassingly local and unverifiable - if the ed was able to extract at least a couple of media reports that specifically tied in direct involvement in the larger asbestosis issue - I would run counter to this AFD and say keep - however I would caution against a rapid snow delete - there may well be a very small stub about 10 tenth the size that is eligible for notability - imho SatuSuro 12:28, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Reviewed in light of comments I wrote the summary and beleived it was important to note what Mr Hammond had acheived wihtin the Asbestosis domain but I think the points made are reasonable so am happy to accept that it be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wadelapp (talk • contribs) 08:17, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't think there's any real notability here, at least as far as WP:BIO goes.  He's a lawyer, he does his lawyering in support of a very good cause, and he's been quoted a couple of times in regional press, but there doesn't appear to be any articles that concentrate on the actual person.

 * Delete per WP:BIO. Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 04:40, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete not enough here to keep this person advertisement on wikipedia. Indeed I also tend towards Speedy Delete for this one.-- VS  talk 10:50, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
