From WP:DRV, outcome was to restore, and send to AFD. Procedural nom. No opinion expressed on notability by nominator. Here for a discussion and assessment, from the community. -- Cirt (talk) 09:20, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Weak delete. I cant find the significant coverage in reliable sources that would confer the level of notability we require. Sure, he has some community awards and a few brief mentions in news articles, but he hasn't been the subject of the vast majority of those. I don't think he's quite there yet.

Guideline does not mandate that the individual be the main focus of sources, only that the sources speak of him directly and in some detail. Past this, some of the sources do indeed have this individual as the main topic being discussed. I believe we can take these, add to them the ones where he is spoken of but not the main focus, and grant that he has his notability, even if only to the many millions in the Toronto metropolitan and Ontario surrounding areas.

Keep I think the Toronto Star [1], Toronto Star [2] and Barrie Advance [3] sources are good enough, along with the various CBC News mentions [4] [5]. Since the first three sources are not trivial and do focus on Nguyen and his website, and he has won the Paul Yuzyk award, the entry meets WP:BIO.--hkr Laozi speak 13:56, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As per the non-trivial coverage in the three sources listed by the user above me, the guy appears to meet WP:BIO, specifically the WP:BASIC subsection. Alzarian16 (talk) 14:08, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Dylan. What little notability there is seems to be entirely local. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:13, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Coverage is sufficiant to meet WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Being Canada's economic capital and the fifth most populous municipality in North America, Toronto is not exactly some low-population or little-heard-of backwater. Further, Toronto is the heart of Ontario's film and television industry, and this individual has received the attention of his peers and coverage in multiple reliable sources.

Wikipedia does not expect coverage to be world-wide, and news coverage to many millions does not equate to being "local" to some few hundreds. Notable to Canada is plenty notable enough for en.Wikipedia. I am convinced through available sources that any concerns with the article are best addressed through regular editing.
