Weak Delete - Very much a marginal case for inclusion. The article claims that he's written a book; if the book in question was published by a major company and/or had a wide circulation, then he's notable. If no sources can be found to demonstrate this, however, then I can't see that the rest of his career constitutes notable activity. Walton monarchist89 16:56, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete - On the lower edge of wiki notability standards. low g hits. I removed most recent prod only because it had been contested before here. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 17:19, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, non-notable. Deltabeignet 22:06, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I can't find any sign of "Mojito". The International Development Research Council rang major bells for me, but it appears that the IDR Centre is the large Canadian government development agency that my friend works for, and his IDRC is something to do with real estate and has merged to form CoreSat Global or something. --Slp1 22:07, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. I think that the individual achievements add up to notability, particularly helping to get millions of dollars in compensation for hepatitis C victims from the Canadian federal government. --Eastmain 22:12, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A7. Does not pass the search engine test all results come up as wikipedia or mirrors, or another individual with same name. Book not listed on Amazon dot com. Book not assigned an ISBN. Involvement with Basketball Canada was not significant enough to be on the Basketball Canada website (via site search), shouldn't be here either. Involvement with Hepatitis is good, but only if backed by multiple non-trivial sources, which the article does not provide.

Delete. Lots of notability is asserted, but no sources are provided. In fact, I can't find any sources at all. Thus, there is a major
verifiability problem. The article may even be a hoax, since creating it was the original creator's only edit. --N Shar 23:22, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply

It reads more like a vanity article than a hoax. I don't really see anything there. The closest thing is that he was on the board of a group which, arguably, influenced a government decision. If we included him just for that, we'd have to include the whole board. Unless something else can be added, I'd delete. this one. --JGGardiner 23:43, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
