Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gary Denniss
This is written like a résumé, not an encyclopedia article, and is referenced far too strongly to local community weekly newspapers in his own local area with ''no'' evidence of sufficient coverage in |reliable sources — the ''only'' newspaper reference here that goes ''beyond'' local coverage ''in'' Bracebridge/Huntsville is the paid-inclusion obituary of his daughter in the ''Barrie Examiner'', which is not a notability assisting source. And the significant number of references here which amount to "cited in other non-notable author's work" don't assist notability either, because ''Denniss'' is not the ''subject'' of those citations. The Lieutenant Governor's Heritage Award is also not an automatic inclusion freebie that ''exempts'' a person from having to be referenced much better than this — as witness the fact that the article creator had to ''create'' the winners category for it, because ''nobody'' else who's won it has an article on that basis alone. There simply is not the depth or breadth of reliable sourcing here that would be required to get a person of primarily ''local'' notability into an ''international'' encyclopedia
