Person of only local or at best regional notability. The Order of Canada does not confer sufficient notability as more than 150 of them are given out each year. Softlavender ( talk) 03:50, 28 March 2018 (UTC) reply

• Comment from nominator: Article was created and written by a sock farm; see WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Keevaymusic. -- Softlavender ( talk) 10:33, 28 March 2018 (UTC) reply
• Delete as creation of sockpuppet, without prejudice against recreation if somebody else is willing to take it on. The Order of Canada is a notable distinction that counts as a valid notability claim — the number of people who receive it annually is a standard that's applied to lower-level distinctions like the Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Medal, not to the OC, so he does have valid grounds for inclusion. What's more determinative here is the sockpuppet problem — for denial of attribution reasons, we have to delete content created by sockpuppets of already-banned editors, and then permit recreation by somebody else.

• Comment, only around 7,000 recipients in 50 years of this high ranking award, a recipient is definitely notable, with appropriate sources of course, nevertheless, agree with Bearcat that article needs to be deleted, then can be recreated later.
