Keep in agreement with the 2008 AFD. Looking at the findsources above, I see the darn this IS sourcable to meet WP:ENT,[1] WP:GNG, WP:BIO and WP:ANYBIO. I hate that WP:NOEFFORT by others could become the reason a notable topic might be tossed. See Winnipeg Free Press[2] and Toronto Star [3] as representative examples. There are more.

- reply - he's a local comedian who's done a radio show; sorry, Mike, I just don't see this as the requisite substantial coverage. (And an IMDb listing proves nothing; heck, I've got an IMDb listing.) --Orange Mike | Talk 13:58, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - He's done a bit more than just "a radio show", and the article in the Winnipeg Free Press is significant and in-depth. I believe that such as Winnipeg Free Press and Toronto Star are indicative of notability to Canada, and even local only to Canada, such is good enough for en.Wikipedia. I'll give it more work tomorrow. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 07:14, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:03, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Update Article has been expanded.[4] to show meeting of GNG and WP:ANYBIO. This fellow has done much more than just "a radio show,[5] and his work has received recognition from media and his peers.[6] Notable to Canada is fine for en.Wikipedia.

Keep I think it is clear he meets guidelines. Nominated for 'Best Male Stand-up' at a national comedy award ceremony several times clearly illustrates this. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:06, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the article did not state this when first nominated but it was not too difficult to find and source. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:36, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as the article now crosses the verifiability and notability thresholds with sourcing from reliable third-party sources about the subject in focus and in depth. Good effort on the save. - Dravecky (talk) 08:05, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
