per . Strictly speaking, having a Wikipedia article does not require the subject to be ''famous'' — it just requires the person to have achieved something that passes a notability criterion and has |reliable source coverage about it. However, we do not necessarily always keep an article about every winner of every award that exists on the planet, but rather we take the notability of the ''award itself'' into account: for example, a Juno or a Polaris clinches the notability of a musician, while a local music scene award does not; an Oscar or a Canadian Screen Award clinches the notability of an actor, while a regional dinner theatre award does not. So local Rotary festivals are definitely not notability clinchers, for starters — and even the awards that do sound more potentially notable, the Canadian Fingerstyle Guitar Competition and the International Fingerstyle Guitar Competition, do not have Wikipedia articles ''at all'' for me to judge whether they're notable enough to clinch NMUSIC notability for their winners or not. So I'm inclined to defer to the subject's stated wishes here, because nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to ''require'' a Wikipedia article about him — and if the nominator is correct that his own friend created it (which is definitely supported by the fact that the original creator was an  with no history of ever editing any other Wikipedia article but this), then the creator still had a |conflict of interest by virtue of creating a Wikipedia article about someone he knew personally
