List of people who have resigned from the Order of Canada

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

While I appreciate the work that has gone into this, it seems to me that this short list does little that cannot be more easily and better contained in Removal_from_the_Order_of_Canada. Five of the seven names resigned in protest over the investiture of a Canadian abortion pioneer. The sixth for unknown personal reasons. And the last name appears to contradict the main bio article, which states that membership was revoked, not resigned. So we have a list of possibly just six names that, again, can be better addressed, briefly, in a main article. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:14, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Merge per nom. It's certainly appropriate content for us to maintain in the main article on the Order of Canada itself — but with just seven people to list, of whom as noted one doesn't even really fit the criterion demanded by the title, a standalone list isn't necessary as a separate topic.

 * Delete No evidence to say this concept is notable for a WP list.Kitfoxxe (talk) 23:15, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Also most of the information is already in Henry Morgentaler. Coatrack? Kitfoxxe (talk) 23:47, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh good catch, yes. I don't know if I'd call it a coatrack violation but this information is certainly better presented there, too. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 01:12, 25 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete. - I don't see how this is notable on its own and I'm concerned that it may be a case of WP:COATRACK. This content is already contained in Removal_from_the_Order_of_Canada -- with more context -- so I don't see a need to merge it. T.C.Haliburtontalk nerdy to me 02:13, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
