[edit] Mark G Byers

I'm not sure about this new entry, and would like fellow Wikipedians' opinions. I'm not involved in this field, but my initial question is that while Mr Byers may have done an excellent job, is his work notable, or is it akin to a regular civil servant's? (In which case it may be vanity.) There are a lot of "Mark Byers" on Google, but 500-odd "Mark Byers" "New Zealand" responses. However, since New Zealand is a small country and the internet is not the be-all and end-all when it comes to credibility tests, 500 can be quite a lot (and more than some local celebrities who are in Wikipedia).

• Keep. Seems like a senior enough individual - we have entries for mayors of cities after all, and this man is the head of a national department. Needs tidying and wikifying though. -- Necrothesp 11:53, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Agree with Necrothesp, so I made the changes he suggested. --Theo (Talk) 20:25, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
