The result was no consensus, however, I blanked and listed it at WP:CP since it's cut and pasted from their website. The Manjit Minhas article wasn't tagged with the afd tag so this result doesn't concern it. It's probably also a copyvio but I can't find a source for it. - Bobet 09:42, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete I've actually heard of this guy, because I live in Alberta--he's on a commercial for his beer. I sure don't think he deserves an article, though. Tom Stringham 03:19, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I would say he meets the criteria of Wikipedia:Notability (people) "The person has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person." AmitDeshwar 01:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep At the very least the first two of those are independent reliable sources about the individual. Thus, the WP:BIO criteria are met. However, they (and possibly some of the others) should be used to improve the article and added to it as references. Additionally, the article should be moved to the proper capitalization. GRBerry

• Agree with your comments: The article needs improvement and should be capitalizedAmitDeshwar 16:00, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
