probably keep. I have begun adding book reviews as I scroll through the ~1,500 hits his relatively unique name gets in a Proquest news archive search. Note that at least two of his books were illustrated by Allen Sapp. Proquest also brings up a great deal of news coverage. It looks to me as though this one probably just needs sourcing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:52, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Third party refs now include Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, CBC Books, The Frisky, Calgary Herald, and Times Colonist. Did the nominator bother doing a WP:BEFORE? I say based on this, the nomination ought to be disqualified already on procedural grounds. Keep! XavierItzm (talk) 14:05, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WP:HEYMANN Keep this page was a very brief stub. that and the fact that David Bouchard is a surprisingly common name may have led to the WP:BEFORE Fail. I have improved the page somewhat, lots more sources exist, in WP:RS in French and English.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:27, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep passes NAUTHOR and indeed NAUTHOR being a shortcut to notability has been demonstrated by the HEY improvement to this article. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 18:26, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Happy to withdraw my proposal now there are plenty of proper references.Rathfelder (talk) 20:42, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
