I don't see any grounds for accepting this person's notability. There's only a few reliable sources that accompany the article (basically, this and this), and those suggest that if anything here is worthwhile noting it's the company, Canam, and not the person running it--his biography is of no interest in those articles. As an author (of self-published books) he's not notable either. What we have here is a former attempt at fluff (note the buzzword "featured" in the list of media attention, which we shouldn't list anywhere anyway), now become a mess.

Delete. Lack of significant coverage about the man. Some of the coverage about the company might make a case (albeit a weak one) for an article about the now defunct company, but not so much for the man who led them to their demise. Niteshift36 (talk) 19:21, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete — The paucity of reliable sources and a of lack of coverage squarely about this subject (as opposed to his company) makes him fail WP:GNG. I also agree with Niteshift about the notability of the company itself. I think an article on it would likely fail WP:CORPDEPTH. JFHJr (㊟) 00:18, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
