 * Strong keep. 1 line mentions? The very first GHit is his obituary published in the Globe and Mail. Author of at least two books, one of which is included in Peel's Bibliography of the Canadian Prairies to 1953. He was not just High Commissioner to Malawi: he was in fact the first Canadian HC to Malawi. He was included in the 1979 Canadian Who's Who. There's plenty of news coverage which far exceeds the "1 line mentions" described by the nominator.. His papers are ensconced in the archives of the province of Saskatchewan.

 * Snow Keep per WP:BEFORE failure. Notability is dependent upon sources being available, and not upon their not being used in an article. While the article is in poor shape, needing work is not a valid reason to delete a notable topic. Cavarrone 05:32, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
