Article fails to credibly assert notability of the subject. The main source used in the article appears to be a CV from a genealogy website, and is the only support for personal information in the article. A second source confirms only that Dorman Long & Co were contractors for the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The third source only supports use of Radium bombs as treatment for cancerous growths. Other than the CV, which is a primary source, there is no support for the claim of his involvement in the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which seems the main "claim to fame". Internet and other searches find other Plunketts, but not this one, indicating that the subject fails to pass WP:GNG. AussieLegend (✉) 10:21, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I guess WP:1E would apply if those claims are true, and the bridge is more notable of these two... Ceosad (talk) 21:40, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It appears from the article that he had only a minor role in designing the bridge, & there sems no other basis for notability DGG ( talk ) 04:45, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I suppose as I unfortunately found nothing at all and that's not surprising but that also means there's no obvious better improvement. I will say change to disambiguation page afterwards for the other two but simply not include this perhaps (I'm willing to start the dab page myself).
