Nothing really notable about this person. Article was created by User:Paulchristie, an obvious conflict of interest. Unless something comes up in this discussion, recommend delete. Suttungr (talk) 02:58, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Neutral – He was notable enough for the Toronto Star to write a 320-word article about him (and I have full-text access to that if anyone has any questions), and for the Alex Christie Bandshell in Kew Gardens to be named for him. That said, most of the other sources I'm finding constitute only brief mentions, hence my uncertainty here.  Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 03:17, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep as per Paul Erik, since I've struggled to find any further sources beyond what they've listed here. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 21:25, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete so what does the article claim? Christie ran a family restaurant and started or operated a number of businesses in the Beaches area of Toronto. He was also involved in community volunteer activities. He was the father of a city councillor and had a park gazebo named after him. All this is interesting but not necessarily notable. It's tough finding sources about him since this is a fairly common name. At this point it makes an interesting story but based on a single obituary I have to say that he doesn't warrant his own Wikipedia entry. EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 13:39, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
