This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because the article includes numerous references to mainstream publications demonstrating the subject's notability (Daily Telegraph, The Australian, Sydney Morning Herald). I could put links here, but you should look at the article. NOT a good candidate for speedy deletion. --Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:09, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I see I was too hasty with Speedy Deletion, but this article reads like a memoir. Someone should really clean up the less relevant, whimsical stuff. Horstvonludwig (talk) 00:08, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The timeline doesn't seem right. In 1987, he was 6 or 7. In 1995 he was smuggled to Kenya (age 15?). It then says 18 months later he moved to Sydney, aged 14. 27.33.202.42 (talk) 22:07, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it is a bit confusing, but does reflect the sources. I have removed mention of 1987 and added a YOB per a Law Journal source, which gives a more coherent timeline. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 04:57, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
