Non-notable doctor. He was the head of a unit in the army and also in a hospital and therefore a mid-level manager, but no notable achievements or research disclosed. He was the state-level head of a very narrow professional organisation. While he was successful, he is not notable and the refs are all about other people or just a list of uni graduates etc ADS54 talk 11:14, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Director of Radiological Services at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, which at the time was the leading hospital in NSW. Fellow and President of a newly emerging Professional College. Castlemate (talk) 04:49, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Nothing here establishes notability. I wondered if the professional association might imply some notability, but our article on them establishes that apparently none of his peers in that role have articles. The Drover's Wife (talk) 09:16, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

* Clearly time to create some bios in this enormously important post-war speciality. Read the history of the College to understand his notability. Castlemate (talk) 09:18, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you'd like to enlighten us and cite those sources, since they're apparently not available online. The Drover's Wife (talk) 09:54, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Haven't been able to find much here - like The Drover's Wife I am curious about the College of Radiologists but without sources it doesn't mean much. Frickeg (talk) 11:10, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
