Fails WP:GNG, references are all trivial, providing no indication of lasting notability. Flagrant WP:POV and WP:PEACOCK issues, showing that this article is promotional, fails WP:NOTPROMOTION. P 1 9 9 ✉ 15:39, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

 * All new addtiions on this debated wikipedia article  are based on media status and facts gathered by editor. The content is not WP:PEACOCK or WP:POV it is on the contrary based on an indepth research online from various sources. I do not agree with this article for deletion. Mr. Yanic Simard is a Canadian business entrepreneur and well known television and media personality and I decided to update the missing information on his wikipedia page. This is NOT self proclaimed or intended to promote anything, I am just an independant source trying to be more accurate on the subject. Following comments and feedback from editors and administrators I have adjusted my additions to this article. I hope my fellow editors find it acceptable. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lostintranslation18 (talk • contribs) 20:54, June 23, 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. This is advertorially, not encyclopedically, written, and is based almost entirely on primary sources (e.g. his "our contributors" profiles on the websites of publications he contributed to) rather than reliable ones — the only one which represents media coverage about him is a Q&A interview in which he's talking about himself, which is still not a type of source that can be used to support notability. Our inclusion rules do not grant businesspeople or television personalities an automatic inclusion freebie just because they exist; they must be reliably sourceable as passing a specific notability criterion, but nothing present here passes either part of that equation.
