Autobiographical article. Does not seem to satisfy WP:PEOPLE, but also does not seem to qualify for CSD#A7. References are listed (some reliable), but they do not seem to assert enough notability for the subject. Most sources mention how subject has raised funds, althought most of the article is original research and unencyclopedic. –Dream out loud (talk) 22:59, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, although a little reluctantly. Certainly, a motivated young man who wants to do good, and has carried through that desire with action. However, the coverage, is light, and comes only from community newspapers. That's not enough to establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 16:24, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for now. He sounds like a fine young man (although a lot of the information is unverified and the tone of the article is way too reverential), but the notability is just not there. I find one newspaper reference, in Niagara This Week. A CBC interview is mentioned but I could not find it. Three awards are claimed, but there is no indication of who actually presents the Youth Citizen of the Year Award or the Social Justice Award, while the Lieutenant Governor's Award turns out to be given to 1100 secondary school students every year [1]. Nice, but not enough. --MelanieN (talk) 01:01, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
