Just being awarded the OAM is not enough to prove sufficient notability on wikipedia. This has been discussed before - see Wikipedia:Australian_Wikipedians'_notice_board/Archive_36#OAMs_for_notability for a recent discussion. Is he the subject of significant coverage in independent reliable sources? I don't think so - his OAM seems to be for his work in the navy which almost certainly wouldn't have been reported outside in independent sources. The-Pope (talk) 11:06, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, I have drawn a blank looking for further sources on this person. I'm sure that the work he did to deserve an OAM was of top quality (you don't get one otherwise, generally), but I'm not seeing enough verifiable material for us to construct a BLP here.

- Delete Biographical article about someone who had a solid but unremarkable career in the Royal Australian Navy. Does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. Dolphin (t) 12:28, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
