Deletion of Gerald Caplan

Comment: The article definitely needs improvement, but in addition to the sources shown above he garners over 1,300 hits in ProQuest's Canadian Newsstream database (and no, that number's not a typo). He's not as visible in the media lately as he was in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, but Wikipedia's notability criteria don't require ''recent'' media coverage — if we can dig out old stuff that predates googlability, it still counts toward passage of . Notability ultimately depends more on the ''existence'' of quality sources rather than their already being in the article — and the necessary quality of sources is very much out there

Comment: Not to be confused with a psychiatrist of the same name. I found this short bio from http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/gerald-caplan/ The Canadian Encyclopedia but thats about it. I could not find multiple reliable sources to verify this . There maybe some sources if someone is willing to wade through his own writings; not sure if  applies here

Comment: The short bio in The Canadian Encyclopedia confirms notability, and also provides claims of significance both as co-chair of two major commissions, and as author of what they call "one of the best books to have appeared on the CCF Party". The book, ''The Dilemma of Canadian Socialism'', also has two published reviews http://www.jstor.org/stable/3231236 https://muse.jhu.edu/article/570144/summary, not enough by itself for  but adding enough multiple reliably-published in-depth coverage of some of Caplan's work to confirm the notability from the encyclopedia article
