Fails WP:BASIC and WP:GNG. Has not "received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources", [1]. The only reference for this whole article is about a publication of the subject's company and I doubt the company would even pass WP:CORP. AlanS (talk) 12:15, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. He's had significant coverage in journalism reviews such as the King's Journalism Review and Ryerson Review of Journalism -- published by two of Canada's top journalism schools. He's also received coverage from the University of Wisconsin's Center for Journalism Ethics. I also uncovered a profile of him by Steven Kimber, a respected journalist and professor of journalism. And there's a case study from Columbia's journalism school which discusses Bentley extensively. He's also gained attention running for the school board in Halifax (not enough for WP:GNG on its own, but combined with everything else it shows notability). The article needs work, but AfD is not cleanup. Tchaliburton (talk) 16:08, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
