 * Keep -- Guy's film won the best picture Genie, which is like the Oscar but Canadian. We wouldn't be talking about deleting the producer of a best picture Oscar winner.  Also, he's well respected in Canadian LBGT circles e.g. per this source.  The guy's films are pretty widely reviewed in the Canadian press as well and he's written about himself, which I can see in a database but not link through to.  Here are a couple:
 * FILM; Brueggergosman stars in Brown Girl prequel Chronicle Herald, The (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada) - November 19, 2015
 * Strategic Partners strike deals at Atlantic Film Festival; Canadian producer Cass to work with South African company for upcoming feature film Chronicle Herald, The (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada) - September 23, 2006
 * STAR-CROSSED LOVE, CROSS-DRESSED CAST IN `LILIES' Plain Dealer, The (Cleveland, OH) - June 12, 1998

 * Keep. This definitely needs some referencing improvement, but producing a Genie Award for Best Motion Picture winner is a valid notability claim for a film producer, in exactly the same way that is true at the Oscars or the BAFTAs — and for a producer whose notability clincher took place in 1996, a simple Google search would not be expected to turn up the strongest coverage of him, because Google is only useful for locating recent media coverage and not for locating 20-year-old media coverage. Wikipedia does not have any requirement that our sources be web-published — we are allowed to cite books and magazines and pregooglable newspapers retrieved from archival databases or microfilms.
