Delete. I am the article subject. I regard myself as a non-notable, private person, and I want the article to be deleted, per Wikipedia:Notability (academics). DonaldJSavoie1 (talk) 12:27, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Besides possibly meeting GNG, Savoie is a very clear NPROF pass on the basis of citations (criteria 1), holding the Canada Research Chair in Public Administration and Governance at the Université de Moncton as well as the Clément-Cormier Research Chair in Economic Development (criteria 5), winning the Izaak Walton Killam Memorial Prize (criteria 2), and being a member of the Royal Society of Canada (criteria 3). While subject requests should be honored for borderline situations, in this instance Savoie's notability is very far from borderline.--Eostrix (^{🦉 hoot} _hoot🦉) 12:31, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I live in the region in which M. Savoie is active (Atlantic Canada) and I can attest that while I am sure he is a private person, he publishes prolifically about public affairs and therefore contributes to the public dialogue, debate and no doubt also continues to influence public policy within the region and beyond. It is for these reasons that I wrote the initial article on him. I was in fact very surprised that it had not been written much earlier. I was happy to see a photograph of the subject and other improvements added to the article by others, after I began it.Verne Equinox (talk) 21:16, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. members of the RSC and Order of Canada are notable, he also passes WP:NPROF with the Canada Research Chair, a named chair and a notable prize: Izaak Walton Killam Memorial Prize. This is not a borderline call, but a clearly notable individual. --hroest 02:56, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. He has published almost 500 articles, essays, etc and has over 6700 citations according to Google Scholar. He meets WP:NPROF. Peter303x (talk) 02:58, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep clearly passing GNG. Trakinwiki (talk) 16:13, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Trakinwiki, you joined three days ago and have contributed to only deletion directly. It takes you 2-3 minutes to decide whether the article should be kept or not. What are you? The best Wikipedian ever? Most of your comments are copied/pasted and very reliable on previous comments. Do you even bother to check about the subject in-depth before commenting? Or you have some other things in mind? And apparently, I am a day old and this being my first suggested article, I am learning about the rules, and you KNOW ALL THE RULES as you comment clearly in 2-3 minutes (that also using mobile~)? I am posting this on other comments of yours as well. HeyitsmeFellen (talk) 19:46, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
