Does not appear notable. Using Notability_(academics) as a guide, this person does not have any major awards, does not hold any high level positions, and does not appear to have made a "significant impact" on the academic field. Publications do not appear to be highly cited (, can't find in WoK). No first author papers. Has one patent, but per item #7 here, that is not enough to establish notability. Moreover, page was created by someone who likely has a WP:COI in response to edits on Archbishop MacDonald High School (see history). EvergreenFir (talk) 20:52, 2 June 2014 (UTC)


 * In the field of data security for Personal Health Information, the research and recommendations made by this particular author and researcher have helped to shape policy both in the Province of Ontario and Canada. Closer inspection of the published articles clearly supports this. Dataprivacy (talk) 21:03, 2 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete - fails WP:GNG. The sources provided are mostly coverage of various subjects (in the form of acadmic reports) by the subject, not of the subject. Some of the sources don't mention the subject at all. The problem is that the subject has contributed to knowledge in a particular area but there is no 3rd-party to verify how significant that contribution has been. The significance of his contribution requires our own interpretation. We know Leonardo Da Vinci mad a significant contribution to art because many scholars after him have talked about his contribution to art. I can't find anything to verify the claim that the subject has, "helped to shape policy both in the Province of Ontario and Canada". Even if that were so, is that really a significant enough contribution (plenty of academics contribute to the development of policy in their region/country) for the subject to be considered notable?

 * Delete for lack of independent sources. --Rob (talk) 02:17, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. The level of citation for his research (in a high-citation field) is not enough to pass WP:PROF, and no other claim of significance is evident. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:37, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per Rob and David. Steam5 (talk) 03:35, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
