WP:BLP of a person notable only for coordinating a local history project. This is not an "inherently" notable distinction that would entitle him to a Wikipedia article in and of itself, but the article is not referenced to coverage about him for the purposes of getting him over WP:GNG: it's referenced to purely local media coverage in which he's not the subject of the pieces, but is either glancingly namechecked or soundbited as a speaker in coverage of events. The CBC citations are to the CBC's local news bureau in Ottawa, not to the national news division, so they do not constitute evidence of nationalized coverage -- and the Ottawa Sun citation is merely a repetition of the same article as the Ottawa Citizen citation (they're both owned by the same company, so they do reaggregate some of each other's content), so those do not represent two separate data points toward establishing a WP:GNG pass. And other than those, the only other citation here is a neighbourhood pennysaver which isn't GNG-assisting at all. There simply isn't enough substance, or enough sourcing about him, present here to deem him notable for this. Bearcat (talk) 15:39, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
