Biography of a "singer, actor, director, producer and writer", not reliably sourced as satisfying our notability criteria for any of those careers. This features absolutely no footnoting at all, but instead just linkfarms an excessive list of external links to almost entirely primary sources, such as IMDb and his paid-inclusion legacy.com obituary and the self-published websites of organizations named in the article body, which are not support for notability. There's only one link in that list (the Canadian Theatre Encyclopedia) that counts for anything at all toward notability, but it doesn't count for enough all by itself -- it says nothing about him that would be "inherently" notable enough to guarantee him a Wikipedia article, so it doesn't constitute a magic WP:GNG pass all by itself in the absence of any other reliable sourcing.

 * keep sourcing added by User:RebeccaGreen during AfD carries this one over the bar, just barely, with reviews and INDEPTH 1977 profile in the Ottawa Journal, of blessed memory.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:49, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment Thanks, E.M.Gregory. As noted, I have started finding and adding sources. I haven't finished yet, as there are many, just in Newspapers.com - I haven't even tried other databases yet. RebeccaGreen (talk) 03:54, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: Notability was already there but glad there are some references added. Eight "External links" are about three time over-excessive but that is a content issue. Otr500 (talk) 13:41, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep – Appears to meet WP:BASIC as per a perusal of the sources in the article. The sources are essentially paywalled, so this !vote is based upon an assumption that at least two of the sources provide significant coverage. North America1000 00:30, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
