I am the original poster of the content and tried to include as much information as I could about the books and their impact - most of my knowledge comes from his old books which I can't reference but I will reference the new ones when it comes out. It also rerferances a site by the canadian government that is some validity! What does it need to stay? - RichardDober —Preceding unsigned comment added by RichardDober (talk • contribs) 04:00, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't see any mention of Winchester on that Canadian government site. So to establish notability that's worthless. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 04:06, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

If you look at the Communication logs link (citation 4) he is the sixth entry down. What more does this article need me —Preceding undated comment added 04:08, 12 May 2010 (UTC).
 * Okay, got it. But that only qualifies as a trivial reference, not even close to being enough. It's merely a directory entry. What you would need is non-trivial third-party coverage by a reliable source such a newspaper article that's entirely about Winchester. Something like that. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 04:15, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * This is highly suspect, given the lack of google hits. I believe the "Bruce Winchester" in that listing is someone else. As screwed-up as the Canadian government is, I'm hoping they wouldn't hire a 24-year old as a senior policy advisor. I think this article is probably a hoax.  freshacconci  talk talk  23:02, 12 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete G11 The article is written as a resume. Google returned a grand total of 21 hits, most of them from Wikipedia. No evidence of notability.  In any case, I don't see why this even needed an AfD; it's a pretty blatant CSD G11. -- L  P  talk 04:25, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The only reason I brought this to AfD was to avoid an edit war over the speedy tag. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 04:26, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - again. The curious lack of Google hits suggest hoax as much as non-notable bio. &mdash; RHaworth 04:58, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete There is no serious claim of significance in the article. I can find no reliable sources at all. The only fact in the article that is cited to a reliable source is the fact that he once worked for a company called "Flagship Solutions ", and that is all that the source tells us. (As Blanchardb pointed out above, it is just a directory entry.)  (Interesting is this forum post in which Bruce Hamilton Winchester boasts about being the subject of a Wikipedia article.)

 * Interesting, too, that as of this writing none of the replies mention the deletion tag, while the original post says something about our "strict" inclusion guidelines. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 00:49, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yup. It blew up in his face over there. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 02:47, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
