Declined AfC draft which was then moved as if accepted, but incorrectly to WP: space. Still not notable with refs in particular very lacking. JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 15:22, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Reslited rather than softdelete because I suspect SD would be immediately contested, can we try for a result here, folks? j⚛e deckertalk 00:37, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment: Undeniably a provincial figure in the arts. Drawing an analogy to a US state or a UK region may be misleading. His book publication is hard to assess. The sources verify the claims in the article: a significant figure in political drama in a major city in a province in Canada. Is any of this sufficient for passing the notability standard? I'm softer on artists than others, so I take no position. Hithladaeus (talk) 14:21, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: I'll go ahead and be soft on this. My reasoning is that, even though he seems to be a large voice in a single city, that single city dominates a wide section of Canada, so there is a kind of relativity, here. In Dallas or Seattle there might be eight comparable voices, diluting the notability, but he has had a long career of some note in a theater scene. There was never a question of verification.

 * Keep I'm seeing enough major coverage to pass WP:GNG. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:53, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
