Not notable. Lacks coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. One of a glut of articles on seemingly non notable St Peter's College old boys. Wikipedia is not a webhost for a collection bios of a schools former students. duffbeerforme (talk) 09:22, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. As an academic, his citation numbers are only in the low double digits, not enough to convince me of a pass of WP:PROF. But I just added several newspaper sources for his work at the electoral commission and in several international capacities since then. Although none of these have much in the way of detail about Harris (hence the weakness of my keep !vote), I think these roles may have a high enough profile to make the article worth saving. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:17, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
