This biographical article has only one source, which makes verifiability difficult, and has no claim of notability - which means the article fails WP:NBIO. My WP:BEFORE check failed to bring up anything of note besides passing mentions. Kirbanzo (userpage - talk - contribs) 22:31, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep Has an entry in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography. Dozens of DNZB articles have been put up for deletion and they have all been kept. This one won't be any different as community consensus is that people with an entry in the DNZB meet GNG.  Schwede 66  05:08, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
