Contested WP:PROD, original reason is here, no vote. Chick Bowen 16:03, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. The source verifies that O'Dwyer is a director of Metal Storm, but I don't see the kind of independent writing about him that would make him notable per WP:BIO. -FisherQueen (Talk) 16:53, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Since the prod (lack of notability given as the reason), I have expanded on the notability of the subject, and provided sources. He is a director or chairman of a number of public Australian companies: Metal Storm, Bendigo Bank, Brumby's Bakeries and MFS Limited. John Vandenberg 12:59, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 12:59, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. The article now seems to have more than adequate sourcing. --Eastmain 13:43, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - just a guy doing his job. --Peta 23:23, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Business-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 08:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Metal Storm caused quite a stir in Australia, a revolutionary breakthrough that was shunned because it was to do with firearms by the AU government that went offshore and is now costing us billions in development costs for a product we'd have gotten dirt cheap if we kept it local. Very significant. His role in Bendigo Bank, another very Australian significant feature would make him noteworthy furthermore. Definite keep here. Jachin 08:14, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. Seems notable enough for mine and the article has sources. Capitalistroadster 01:36, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep The subject is a chairman or director of several major companies in Australia, and this article is becoming well sourced. I'm also concerned that it only took four hours to go from a PROD to a nomination of AfD, in spite of the fact the article was in the process of being improved. --Greatwalk 00:07, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
