Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Current senior Australian Defence Organisation personnel
This nomination is misguided. This is not original research as all the positions and their occupants are listed on the Department of Defence and/or Government Online Directory websites. These websites are authoritative and are only being used to identify the current holder of the position so the fact that they're published by a related organisation is, if anything, a plus as it verifies that the information is up to date. This topic is very notable and encyclopedic as these are the men and women who head Australia's largest government organisations and they're regularly interviewed and quoted in the specialist defence media and general media and their performance will inevitably be covered in military history books. The claim that the topic lacks notability is also not correct on the grounds that most people on the list are individually notable as officers of two-star rank and above are considered automatically notable. Most of the positions they hold and organisations they run are also individually notable. Moreover, as this is listing is restricted to very senior people it doesn't fall foul of #DIR
