• Keep. Sufficient reliable sources across a number of contexts. Google illustrates more sources that aren't in the article, including a bit of coverage in the Sydney Morning Herald not currently used. The Drover's Wife (talk) 08:54, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
• Keep. Many areas of involvement makes Ellison notable. Castlemate (talk) 09:33, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
• Weak delete. I don't quite see enough here - seems to be mostly passing mentions. Possibly I'm missing something in which case happy to be corrected. Frickeg (talk) 12:08, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
• Delete – All I can find are various trivial passing mentions of this guy in relation to other things. There's no significant, independent coverage to suggest he is notable enough to pass WP:GNG at all. Even the citations the author has included are mostly mere lists with no substance.

• Delete—fails WP:BIO. Google search gives almost nothing. I don't see an sources that would establish his notability. NikolaiHo^☎️ 04:18, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
