WP:BLP of a judge, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for judges. As always, judges are not all "inherently" notable just for existing, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on coverage and analysis about them and their work -- but the sole "source" shown here is a (deadlinked) press release self-published by his own employer, which is not a notability-clinching source, and absolutely no GNG-building sourcing has been shown at all.

• Delete I can find his name on legal documents, but nothing about him. I found it helps to add "Canada" to the search since his name is fairly common. Lamona (talk) 03:03, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
