I can't find any in-depth sourcing on this Canadian lawyer and author. The two books in the "writings" list appear to have been self-published by "Varty & Co. Printers", and I saw no reviews in a search. He is frequently quoted as the lawyer for people in the news, for example the captain of the now sunken Queen of the North ferry, but notability is of course not inherited. --- Possibly (talk) 05:32, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. People are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because it's technically possible to verify that they exist — but this neither cites enough sourcing to get him over WP:GNG, mor claims anything "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to get over GNG on his sourcing.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
