• Keep - plenty of good sourcing. pass WP:GNG by a mile.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:15, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Doesn't WP:BLP1E apply only to living people anyway? (hence Biographies of living persons, but then again I'm not a big fan of the policy anyway) Still, there does appear to be several reliable coverage about him, from the likes of ABC (the Australian one), CBS etc. This isn't the Japanese Wikipedia where they don't mention him by name.
