Fails WP:SIGCOV. Only sources in the entire article are awards he has received for his projects, and none of the info in the lead is verified in the body (if there even is a body). 🔥 Jala peño🔥 Stupid stuff I did 12:49, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

- Keep, per previous AfD. I'm not sure the nominator has done WP:BEFORE. Articles such as [1] and [2] should be sufficient (as well as the long list of articles going back to 1997 on MacDonald's company website). However, the awards were won by his company, Ian MacDonald Architect Inc., so I don't think they can be ascribed to him personally. Sionk ( talk) 13:27, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

- Keep but only after reviewing Sionk's sources. The previous AfD bases his notability off of the Canadian encyclopedia, but I cannot track down their editorial policy as to whether it's a reliable source. The article itself is a mess and the sources there don't demonstrate notability per the GNG. I haven't performed an additional BEFORE to see what else can be added to the article since Sionk's sources are good in my book, but it really needs to be cleaned up - I would not have accepted it if it were at AfC.

- Keep – The two sources presented by Sionk are enough to satisfy me. While there is interview content, there is also secondary content in the sourcing. TLA tlak 23:56, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
