Contested prod. Zero in-depth coverage from independent, secondary, reliable sources. Current sourcing is only a government publication and a database. Fails WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 08:55, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Surveyor General of Western Australia as ATD for the time being. We have articles on other holders of this post so it is possible that this article could be restored and expanded in the future. Mccapra (talk) 12:01, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article lacks significant sources needed to establish notability. Several of the other articles on holders of this post were also just recently created by the same person, and these similarly lack GNG-compliant sourcing, so their existence is no basis for maintaining this one. John Sherlock Brooking is sourced to some unreliable/non-substantive genealogy pages and a facebook page. John Percy Camm and others are similar. I would ask the creator to become more familiar with sourcing to reliable and significant coverage before creating any more articles. Reywas92^Talk 17:32, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
