Chris Sarra (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

School principal and winner of the 2004 Queenslander of the Year award. Still fails WP:BIO in my opinion.

    • Comment With a population of c. 4,000,000 in Queensland can you be expected to remember every person who made it to the local news? User:Dimadick
  • Move to Cherbourg State School, where presumably an article will be created eventually. ...maelgwntalk 04:03, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Why would article be created eventually? No evidence that school is notable. Never heard of it myself and it isn't far from me.--Dacium 04:55, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, WP:BIO. Terence Ong 12:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete without references we cannot establish notability Alf photoman 15:18, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete if the school isn't notable either, then there is no where to move this and I don't think it stands up on it's own WP:BIO wise. SGGH 23:23, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Has won Queenslander of the Year [1] and article shows link to a nationally broadcast program about him. Capitalistroadster 03:34, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Also, head of the Indigenous Leadership Institute and regarded as one of Australia's leading indigenous educators. Google News Archives comes up with 51 hits [2] so plenty of sources. Capitalistroadster 03:39, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep per Capitalistroadster. JPD (talk) 12:47, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep Australian Story program alone establishes notability, QUT award as well. Paul foord 00:21, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment please improve the article whilst this AFD is ongoing to show notability there. Paul foord 00:21, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, the man was Queenslander of the year. If that's not notable, then what is? Lankiveil 09:30, 25 January 2007 (UTC).
  • Keep, dude wins a national award, and gets press coverage. Makes him notable does it not? Otherwise, why would he win the award? Tomstdenis 14:24, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Winner of notable award ( though the immediately preceding comment is wrong to say that it's a national one, and is sloppily reasoned ! ). WMMartin 14:47, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
I should also note that comments about the quality of references seem to date from a couple of days ago. I find the references adequate.
