I'm going to admit that as this article stands right now, it's a little too dependent on Titanic-related sourcing and not nearly enough on properly sourcing his preexisting notability in politics — but sources for that other, stronger notability claim ''do'' exist. Although Bradv's sources aren't actually support for notability like he thinks (corporate press releases and the self-published websites of yacht clubs don't assist in demonstrating notability at all!), I did find significant |reliable source coverage in archives of both ''The Globe and Mail'' and the ''Montreal Gazette''. Nominator is correct, to be fair, that dying in the sinking of the Titanic is not in and of itself a notability-maker — the clincher here is that he was already notable for other reasons in life, not the Titanic per se. The sole issue here is that people didn't put in the ''work'' needed to properly ''show'' his preexisting notability, not that he didn't actually have any. What our sources have to be is ''media'', not necessarily "readable on the web" — archival media coverage you have to dig into databases to find still counts, and the sources do not necessarily have to Google easily
