This article is poroposed for deletion because there is nothing noteworthy in this person's background that warrants a biography, it really just reads as a secondary college headmaster's CV and we don't want this type of information clogging up wikipedia for more important articles.

Keep Fixing nomination--discussion page was created without the {{afd2}} template and without being transcluded to a daily log as per WP:AFDHOWTO, to which the nominator had previously been directed. As for the article itself, the subject appears to meet notability standards per WP:GNG, although there is room for improvement. In particular, he has received coverage in major Australian media over his resignation as principal and his decision to rescind that resignation per The Daily Telegraph and The Australian, which has yet to be included in the article. --Finngall ^talk 23:48, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete - This person is not notable. If he's involved in some controversy then the story should be included in the page of the institution.Acnetj (talk) 00:21, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, or Merge to The Scots College. The only significant independent coverage on him is for a kerfuffle or two regarding the school itself. SunChaser (talk) 08:45, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, or Merge to The Scots College. Not even close to WP:AUTHOR. Otherwise, he is just a regular headmaster. Doctorhawkes (talk) 23:33, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not notable - he may be notable as an author, WP:AUTHOR but nothing here to indicate that. Deathlibrarian (talk) 01:04, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, or possibly (very selective) merge to The Scots College. He's already mentioned there. It's not clear what additional details make sense to merge. Certainly not everything. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:29, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
