Extremely messy article (all over the place), no sources, article written like an essay Hawkeye75 (talk) 06:25, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think the issue with this article is not the notability but rather the current condition of the article. I would recommend, if no one wants to work on it, it simply get reverted to the last version before User:Bfinny1960 started the changes in 2014. This would be this version - [1]. I would be happy to do that if required. --YUL89YYZ (talk) 12:09, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Revert to 2014 per YUL89YYZ and keep. He does have a valid notability claim as a Member of the Order of Canada, though the current version buries it in a flood of advertorial bumf and even the old version needs better reliable sourcing than it has — but given that there is a cleaner version in the history to roll back to, I can't come down on the side of a blow it up and start over again conclusion.

Revert to 2014. he is notable--but the spam is unacceptable and should have been stopped earlier. DGG ( talk ) 18:45, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- I've reverted to the 2014 version (current page); significant career achievements & the Order of Canada is strongly suggestive of notability. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:41, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Agree with other comments here re the revert to the earlier version, and that membership in the Order of Canada is sufficient for notability. --papageno (talk) 23:10, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
