Inadequately referenced WP:BLP of a television personality and male beauty pageant contestant. Neither of these are "inherent" notability freebies that guarantee him a Wikipedia article just because he exists, so getting him over the notability bar requires demonstrating him as the subject of enough reliable source coverage to clear WP:GNG. But of the five sources here, two are WordPress blogs, one is a podcast and one is his own self-published Patreon, none of which are notability-supporting sources at all -- and the only one that is an acceptable, notability-assisting reliable source, The Georgia Straight, is not enough all by itself if it's the only acceptable, notability-assisting reliable source you can show. GNG requires a lot more than just one piece of real-media journalism amid a bunch of blogs and podcasts. Note that despite the earlier discussion, this is not eligible for immediate speedy as it's written and sourced differently than the original version -- but the sourcing being shown here is still not actually changing the notability equation at all.

 * Update: Three additional sources have been added; however, two (Vancouver Courier and Daily Hive) are still community hyperlocals, which are okay for verification of facts but not contributors of notability points; and the Red Deer Advocate, which is a start down the correct path as a real daily newspaper but still not enough. And all are still stacked on top of each other in violation of the citation overkill principle that we do not need three or four separate citations to be piled on top of each other as reduplicated support for the same fact.
