Rhode was a journalist. I cannot find any substantial sources on him. The short geographical blurb is not enough. I found one mention of his name and nothing more in a long list of people who ran amateur radio stations, and I found mention of him in a hearing report from Congress, which is a primary document. As far as I can tell there are no indepdent secondary sources that give significant coverage. John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:08, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Comment someone thought he was important enough to name a mountain after him (Cecil Rhode Mountain). That alone does not make him notable. Nor does the 3500 results I found on Newspapers.com by sheer count make him notable. But it makes me very suspicious that he may turn out to be. Will follow up in the next day or two.

Keep. There are a great many sources on newspapers.com, a book Wild Shots which discusses him, and of course, a mountain named after him. I've added several of these to the article, there is certainly enough material to do a lot of expansion! Jacona (talk) 12:33, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
Keep per the excellent work done Jacona. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 16:23, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
Keep per Lugnuts. Well-sourced article on notable photojournalist. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 13:49, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
Keep. The article could do with lots of improvement, but he's a fairly famous nature photographer/photojournalist.Ari T. Benchaim (talk) 01:49, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
Keep per Jacona above. Carrite (talk) 21:29, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
