Ian MacArthur is not a notable architect. The article also reads like an advertisement or an “About Us” section on a company website.
Note: thecanadianencyclopedia.com is listed as an external link, but the website is offline. Did they shut down? After changing it to .ca, it gives me a 404, so the external link either rotted or was incorrectly typed then taken down by the Canadian Encyclopedia. BenzoAid ( talk) 08:21, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

- Keep per Eastmain and the sources they provided. Subject seems notable enough to pass GNG. CycloneYoris talk! 08:56, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
