Keep Notable individual who has the recognition of his peers and who meets WP:GNG. Notability, even if only to Canada, is notable enough for en.Wikipedia. Am fixing the ref format now, as it has been made "somebody else's problem". Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 04:51, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Except that's there's no evidence of 'recognition of his peers' except in the most narrowest of senses, at best, not to mention that his 'notability'--if real, which isn't convincingly shown either--is not even to Canada but to his hometown. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 08:53, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

'Hometown'? Winnipeg is the capital and largest city of Manitoba, Canada, and with more than 60% of Manitoba's population, is the primary municipality of the Winnipeg Capital Region. The Winnipeg Free Press is one of the major papers serving that region (not a pamphlet or throwaway)... and not limited only to Manitoba, is available accross Canada (much like the New York Times or Chicago Sun being available outside those two US 'localities'). Wikipedia does not demand that a Canadian notable receive world-wide coverage, and it would be expected that a Canadian notable would be covered in a major Canadian press. His significant coverage in multiple reliable independent sources is exactly as guideline instructs for ascertaining notability. Its not as if we're speaking of a local gardener receiving a one-liner mention in a neighborhod gazette. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 20:38, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Enough coverage to show that he's notable, in Manitoba, at least, and that the article passes WP:GNG.--Arxiloxos (talk) 17:13, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
