Non-notable individual lacking non-trivial support. red dogsix (talk) 04:57, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong delete - Looks like WP:PROMO, orphan article, nothing notable about it. --FuzzyGopher (talk) 11:57, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Agree. Self-promotional. Don't these people know about LinkedIn? EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 19:57, 11 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment - Worth keeping - Service and leadership serves hundreds of thousands and he is notable in Canada. likely will continue to be Lang in news on most youth stories in national news: so worth having wiki page to see who and what. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kmitch098 (talk • contribs)
 * Fails to meet the requirements of WP:BIO.  red dogsix (talk) 22:10, 11 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - even the organization he's president of is not notable. FUNgus guy (talk) 21:24, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
 * SAVEOrganization serves hundreds of thousands since 1968 and Lang on national news on mots youth related stories (Globe, Star, CBC, etc.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.112.83.177 (talk) 19:25, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Please explain how this meets any of the notability requirements in WP:ORG. red dogsix (talk) 01:09, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
 * He is well known across Canada and involved in several high profile Boards and politically, and the organization serves hundreds of thousands of youth and thus as leader he is recognized in national media and information and bio's sought regularly. This is the most effective and efficient means to disseminate this information.  He will also continue to be recognized int he future.  I think it is worth keeping and helps many people.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mbmetall (talk • contribs) 17:04, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
 * None of this meets any of the notability requirements in WP:BIO.   red dogsix</i> (talk)
 * It does meet the notability requirement and he is cited, quoted, represented or mentioned in thousands of articles under different areas: youth employment (globe and mail, toronto start, cbc), politics (durham, liberal), business, family and so much more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mbmetall (talk • contribs) 15:41, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - Just saying he does does not make it so. Please cite specific examples of how the article meets WP:BIO. Let's face it, the article also lacks in-depth, non-trivial support.  red <b style="color:#000;">dog</b><i style="color:#000;">six</i> (talk) 15:54, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
 * To say he is more notable than tens of thousands of others on Wiki I realize is not an adequate reason, although it is true, but by the Wiki definition: "worthy of notice"[1] or "note"[2] – that is, "remarkable"[2] or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" Lang easily meets the requirement and is in many circles very noteworthy and well known.  I also realize this is somewhat subjective as to what is "note worthy" but in our industry and region he more than adequately meets that requirement.  Well known, strong leader who affects thousands of people, inspiring, connected by family and other to hundreds of other Wiki "note worthy" people or places, and has an interesting bio and will continue to be important in many ways in the future.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.112.83.177 (talk) 16:20, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
