Person of only local or at best regional notability. The Order of Canada does not confer sufficient notability as more than 150 of them are given out each year. Softlavender (talk) 03:52, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Per User:Necrothesp/Notability criteria for recipients of honours - she has received both a first-level and second-level service award. (By the way, 150 out of a population of 35 million is quite an accomplishment) Keep. --YUL89YYZ (talk) 04:24, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, only around 7,000 recipients in 50 years of this high ranking award, a recipient is definitely notable, with appropriate sources of course. Coolabahapple (talk) 21:36, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Their is a claim of notability that is supported by the refs. Szzuk (talk) 19:28, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This does need improvement, but the nominator is incorrect about the Order of Canada as a notability claim: as long as an article can be sourced to some evidence of preexisting media coverage about what the person did to earn the distinction, rather than relying solely on their presence in a list of OC inductees as its only sourcing, the OC is a valid notability claim. As I noted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Martha Cohen, "member" class in the OC does not automatically connote exclusively local notability — it's the level at which almost everybody in the OC starts at regardless of how local, national or international their notability status may be, because the higher ranks are populated almost entirely by internal bump-ups rather than by people being inducted directly at those levels. And 150 is not a problematic number of inductees, either — we certainly deprecate awards like the 125th Anniversary of the Confederation of Canada Medal, which had 42 thousand inductees in one year, as not inherently notable distinctions, but having just 150 inductees is not enough to problematize an award's notability-making status in and of itself.
