 * Keep and improve references. A quick Google search turned up significant coverage. See here, here, here, and |%20Hometown%20Humour%20J.R.%20Digs%20Deep here. Clearly meets WP:GNG. Tchaliburton (talk) 18:28, 30 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I've stripped a big chunk of the article for being unsourced promotional material that had a blatantly unencyclopedic tone, but the guy does actually have some properly sourceable notability as a Canadian television personality and Gemini Award nominee, per Tchaliburton's and other sources. Cleanup and referencing improvements are desperately needed here, it's true, but flag for repair and keep. Bearcat (talk) 01:30, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
