Speedy deletion declined. Article is about a former head of the Canadian Coast Guard with no assertion of notability. No other Commissioners have articles. Both sources are routine biographies. Madg2011 (talk) 19:00, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. Being commissioner of the Coast Guard could get a person into Wikipedia if he could be reliably sourced as the subject of enough media coverage about his work in that role to clear WP:GNG for it — but it's not an "inherently" notable role that automatically entitles him to have an article just because he exists, and having had a staff profile on the Coast Guard's own self-published website is not the magic ticket over GNG in and of itself. A person's eligibility for a Wikipedia article hinges on the degree to which media can or cannot be shown to have done journalism about him, not just on self-verifying his own existence.

 * Delete The Speedy deletion nomination was certainly inappropriate, but this person doesn't appear to pass WP:GNG, as I could not find coverage about him in independent, major reliable sources. Zingarese talk  ·  contribs  03:50, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - Does not clearly pass general notability criteria... some secondary sources, such as the Globe and Mail, the Montreal Gazette, and La Presse, mention his name, but they simply discuss a report he ordered during his time as commissioner. He is not the main subject of any of those secondary sources. Spyder212 (talk) 19:27, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
