Delete. WP:BLP, written like a résumé rather than an encyclopedia article and sourced entirely to primary sources and glancing namechecks of his existence in news articles that aren't about him, of a charity CEO. As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which a person is entitled to an article just because he exists, in the absence of enough reliable source coverage to pass WP:GNG. There's also a likely conflict of interest here, as the creator's username is "D&ILover" (the organization is called the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion, if you're wondering why loving "D&I" would suggest a COI.) No prejudice against recreation in the future if he can be sourced properly — I'll even quite happily list him in the worklist at WikiProject LGBT studies/LGBT in Canada work group — but this is not the type of sourcing that it takes to get the head of an organization into Wikipedia as a standalone topic separate from the organization's article.

 * MERGE portion with his organization Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion because bio is very much like a resume with no significant coverage by reliable sources. Canuckle (talk) 07:50, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete or Merge some info into Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion. As an individual, I don't think he passes WP:GNG or WP:BIO. Most coverage is either not independent, or not in-depth enough. Fyddlestix (talk) 01:17, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
