Speedy keep. He's obviously notable to any Canadian who remembers when Canadian Isol was on the air. There's plenty of coverage of him from reputable sources like Maclean's and The Globe and Mail. These references just need to be incorporated. AfD is not cleanup. Tchaliburton (talk) 20:52, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

probably keep I don't think "unreferenced BLP" is a valid reason for deletion of a pre-BLPPROD article. The criterion is unreferenceable, or non-notable on the basis of what references can be found. It is wildly unlikely that someone with the sort of career described in popular music would not have some findable references if the information in the article is correct. A nomination should say what efforts have been made to look for one. I see it is referenced now, so the the only reason I'm not saying "keep" is because I am reluctant to judge in this subject area unless obvious, and it is not obvious to me that being a judge on Canadian Idol is intrinsic notability, and his presidency is of a division of EMI, not an independent company.
