Lacks any singificant notability and doesn't really give any details about the person and is dependent on a sole source.

Keep the 'sole source' is an official national dictionary of biography which includes the following secondary sources:
O'Connor, P. S. 'Protestants, Catholics and the New Zealand government, 1916--1918'. In W. P. Morrell: a tribute. Ed. G. A. Wood & P. S. O'Connor. Dunedin, 1973
O'Connor, P. S. 'Sectarian conflict in New Zealand, 1911--1920'. Political Science 19, No 1 (July 1967): 3--16
Who's who in New Zealand and the western Pacific, 1925. Masterton, 1924
That seems like quite enough to me.

Snow keep There have been dozens of previous cases where DNZB stubs have been put up for deletion, and they have all been kept. Community consensus is that being listed in the DNZB bestows inherent notability. Schwede66 02:04, 13 September 2017 (UTC)reply
They're in the other DNZB. J947(

Yes, apart from the handful of representative entries, as explained in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography article. I was typing the above on my smartphone and couldn't be bothered mentioning the representative entries (and this one is obviously not one of them). Schwede66 05:49, 13 September 2017 (UTC)reply
Keep – Longstanding consensus has been that almost every entry in the first
DNZB is considered to be automatically
notable. J947(

Keep – Thank you for notifying the NZ wikiproject. I think there is enough here to demonstrate notability. The article could be improved, but that is not a reason for deletion.
