 * Hello,
 * This is the second time that you have send me your "warning" to delete 2012 Canadian honours page. I have written to you yesterday, someone else has deleted your actions (which was not me) and I have written on the page's talk page. This was my argument:
 * I would like to advocate why it would be unfortunate to delete this page:
 * Wikipedia has published all British New Year Honours as far back as 1890
 * Wikipedia has published all British Birthday Honours as far back as 1860
 * Wikipedia has published many Australians honours lists
 * Wikipedia has published many New Zealand honours lists.
 * I believe that my Canadian honours list pages are honouring the work done by other Wikipedians and allows Canadians to view our own honours lists without have to dig them out from the Canada Gazette. Ctjj.stevenson (talk) 22:12, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
 * You never state what your arguement is to delete the page that I have worked hard to create for Wikipedia. No other honours lists seems to have this warning, therefore I would like to know what the problem is with this page. Ctjj.stevenson (talk) 17:00, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
 * please see my response on my talk page. Sorry for saying that you removed the AfD notice; I didn't see that someone else had. Willbb234Talk (please &#123;&#123;ping&#125;&#125; me in replies) 17:11, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment: I've formatted the above discussions, and un-transcluded the templates. That page is insanely large, and appears to be copied and pasted from somewhere. If it was copied from somewhere else, care needs to be take to make sure it isn't violating copyright. It may need to be split to avoid being far too long. ··· 日本穣  ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 18:22, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep These honours lists are widespread across the Commonwealth realms (United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada). The two WP:LISTPEOPLE criteria are generally met: inclusion verified by reliable source (such as Canada Gazette), and notability by WP:BIO which includes "person has received a well-known and significant award or honor" (by definition of admission to the Order). Regarding notability of the lists, in each of these Commonwealth countries the full list receives significant media coverage and often verbatim publication of the list itself, as well as detailed coverage of many of the recipients particularly in the higher tiers or with regional or cultural focus (e.g. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom). With the copyright question, that may need to be looked at for the Canadian situation, however in Australia, the honours lists are released under CC-BY 3.0 so the list and citation statements can be published under this licence. --Canley (talk) 01:58, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per Canley's rationale. These lists are really useful indexes: they're widely published in reliable sources due to being of significant public interest and because many of them are people who meet our general notability standards (regardless of whether they presently have articles), it allows readers interersted in the awards to click through to our biographical articles.
