Deletion of Dan Rabkin

Comment: I haven't yet been able to verify this, but the article states (without a source, as the nom notes) that Rabkin won one of the Governor General's Awards. That would presumably be an indication of notability if it were verified, although I'm skeptical it would be enough to pass

Comment: The claim that he won a "Governor General's Medal" in 2005 is completely unsourced, and in fact even on searches of both Google and ProQuest I can find no sources at all to independently verify it outside of his own self-published PR — the problem being that the Canadian Governor General's office gives out annual awards in literally ''dozens'' of categories in ''very'' different domains of activity, ''not'' all of which are instant notability makers (the literary and performing arts awards yes, the community voluntarism awards no, etc.), so the mere statement that he's a medalist is not an instant notability freebie in the absence of any ability to verify what category he purportedly won in. And other than that, the article cites no other sources that are bolstering the case for inclusion at all — the contextless stack of external links is not media coverage ''about him'', but consists almost entirely of |primary sources (e.g. his staff profiles on the self-published websites of his own employers) which are not support for notability. And while I ''did'' find the deadlinked Terry Glavin piece that closes out the stack in ProQuest, it also isn't ''about'' Rabkin — it literally just namechecks his existence briefly as a giver of soundbite in an article whose core subject is something other than him, so it's not a GNG-building source either. Literally nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have exponentially better sourcing than this
