[edit] Gavin MacKenzie
This individual may not meet WP:BIO, and the article is not written very well either, or formatted properly, for that matter too. Either way, it's nominated here at AFD. SunStar Net 23:12, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- Keep and Clean Up, the society is notable, so I would imagine it's leader would be as well. He seems like a rather prominent Canadian, but of course I don't live in Canada so how should I know? The article is in poor shape and needs references, but the subject itself is notable. DoomsDay349 Happy Halloween! 23:28, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Just because a society is notable doesn't mean its treasurer is. I'm not sure about this one, looks pretty successful in his field, but is he really notable? Fan-1967 23:35, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Maybe I made a mistake nominating this for AFD... was I wrong to do this?? SunStar Net 23:29, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- It's alright, don't worry. Just cause I think he's notable doesn't mean everyone else will. Wait for the consensus, and if it is "keep", don't let it keep you from doing and more AFDs- the goal of an AFD is not to delete an article, but to determine a consensus on whether or not to delete it. If the result is a keep, you haven't failed, so don't get upset. DoomsDay349 Happy Halloween! 23:38, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- I wasn't trying to get the article deleted, I thought I was doing the right thing. But thanks for the advice! --SunStar Net 23:42, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Prominent Canadian lawyer. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 06:10, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- Keep and clean up. He's treasurer of the LSUC, which despite the misleading name, really means president. He heads the most important law society and professional indemnity company in Canada. I think that makes him notable. └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 18:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
