Has been through speedy deletion twice and failed both times, but was never put through AfD. Non-notable individual. (Note, there are at least two Keith Dewars that appear in Google hits, one of them is the CEO of Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region, and the other is a professor of tourism. This article is about the professor.) There is no suggestion that this individual meets WP:PROF. Bueller 007 (talk) 01:42, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the only source is the subject's personal home page. This is just not enough to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:13, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unreferenced article about a non-notable professor in a professional training program. I see no evidence of notability after a Google search. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:33, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for Wikipedia is not LinkedIn and this article looks something like a personal CV. Those speedy deletion back then should have got rid of this article. Ernestchuajiasheng (talk) 09:21, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I agree that being assistant dean of a university faculty is enough of a notability claim to preclude speedy deletion, but I'm less clear on why it didn't then come to AFD instead — it's quite far from "inherently" notable enough to survive an AFD discussion in the absence of any viable reliable sourcing about him.
