Nothing in this article nor the link provide suggests that he is notable Gbawden (talk) 07:50, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Apart from a handful of exceptions, people with a DNZB entry are inherently notable, and this person is certainly not one of the exceptions. Note that I have started a discussion on the wider issues around inherent DNZB notability.  Schwede 66  20:52, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment. The article currently lists as a source "Old Colonists" which seems to be about a different William Penlington, the subject's father. This should be fixed. Given the excellent online archives of old NZ newspapers it should be possible to find other sources to replace it. (This is not in itself a reason for or against deletion, but adequate replacement sources would help strengthen the case for notability.) —David Eppstein (talk) 22:57, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep I've just added a number of sources (including the "Old Colonists" reference that User:David Eppstein takes issue with above, which as noticed deals with the subjects' family rather than the subject themselves). Stuartyeates (talk) 01:04, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep as per above. If the NZ'ers think its notable then we should agree. Victuallers (talk) 17:38, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Needs work but will end up meeting criteria. NealeFamily (talk) 09:51, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
