Person of only local or at best regional notability. The Order of Canada does not confer sufficient notability as more than 150 of them are given out each year. Article creator seems to have created articles on six members of this family. Softlavender (talk) 03:58, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as creation of sockpuppet, without prejudice against recreation if somebody else is willing to take it on. The Order of Canada is a notable distinction that counts as a valid notability claim — the number of people who receive it annually is a standard that's applied to lower-level distinctions like the Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Medal, not to the OC, so he does have valid grounds for inclusion. What's more determinative here is the sockpuppet problem — for denial of attribution reasons, we have to delete content created by sockpuppets of already-banned editors, and then permit recreation by somebody else.

• Delete The OOC is good, but the rest reads like WP:VANISPAM... a family history that is not particularly interesting to a general audience, and largely unsourced.104.163.147.121 (talk) 00:57, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
