Dennis Walker

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Son of a highly notable figure (Oodgeroo Noonuccal) but no clear notability in own right. Claims to have co-founded the Aboriginal Tent Embassy but the WP article does not mention him. First media reference only mentions that he assisted his mother on occasion. Second media reference indicates he co-organised a protest in 1971. Could not find anything else.

This is a simple one. Most of the sources discuss this person in the context of the Australian Black Panther Party. See the two sources cited as further reading here, for starters. Since we don't have such an article, and since there's content here that would go in to such an article, renaming and refactoring is the answer. Uncle G (talk) 06:15, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep [1] A fair chunk of news coverage, some of it fairly detailed, spanning 37 years. Ray^Talk 13:42, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
