 * Keep per GNG. I will concede that I cannot find too much about this subject (,, , , , /, , , ), however, I think there is a presumption of notability given that the subject was mayor of the capital city of British Columbia. The common name makes it difficult to tell if various hits are him or not. Location (talk) 04:06, 10 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - The above noted sources indicate that in addition to being a mayor, he was also an architect of signifigance in the development of Victoria. This Historic Places link identified above indicates this.  Building the West can only be seen in a snippet view, but it shows that there is coverage about him and his work. -- Whpq (talk) 17:11, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep the subject meets WP:GNG as demonstrated by the links provided by user:Location. Valenciano (talk) 18:43, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:POLITICIAN - as a co-founder of a city government, and as a mayor of acity that would eventually get to be much bigger.  He may even be notable just for his architectural work. Bearian (talk) 20:51, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
