- @Reynoldsaj, My concern is that all of those sources you just listed were created and owned by the article's subject, making them WP:PRIMARY sources. Also imdb is generally not seen as reliable. (see WP:GUNREL list). Sophisticatedevening (talk) 17:13, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
- This is a reputable news source (https://www.saltwire.com/cape-breton/caper-behind-mic-on-hit-national-radio-program-18869) , IMDB all entries require a confirmation process, (https://www.novascotiaobits.com/about

- Delete: Does not appear to have sufficient notability as evidenced by extensive valid secondary sourcing to suffice WP:GNG. The IP 76.11.17.31 is registered in Halifax, NS and may have a WP:COI commenting on this AfD. m a MANÍ1990(talk | contribs) 16:54, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NOTNOTABLE and WP:GNG failure, and IP concerns raised by @Mamani1990. (Acer's Communication Receptacle | what did I do now) | (PS: Have a good day) (acer was here) 23:47, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete on account of the dearth of sources supporting our subject's notability, despite the gallant efforts to the contrary. And there's a strong aroma of a conflict of interest that does not exactly help. -The Gnome (talk) 20:15, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
