Humanitarian[edit]

I have removed the allegation that Dalglish is a humanitarian. There is no third party source stating Dalglish lives his life in a humanitarian manner, and we have a lot of news sources which suggest Dalglish doesn't respect children's rights to bodily autonomy, which is a part of humanitarianism, so it seems a spurious allegation or original research at best. Please don't add in that allegation unless you have a good third party source for that. P0G41oxepU (talk) 15:58, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I only found one source that used the term "humanitarian". Almost all other news sources use "UN aid worker" or "former UN aid worker", either of which I think are more appropriate to the article. Schazjmd (talk) 16:32, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The very reputable New York Times called him a "humanitarian" even after he was convicted; however I'm fine with not using that as most sources are calling him an "aid worker." R2 (bleep) 22:08, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

AfD[edit]

While Dalglish was awarded the Order of Canada, Any biography only means he is "likely to be notable....[It} not guarantee that a subject should be included." If we can't find "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources" we should revisit the AfD. Dalglish has been written up in alumni magazines such as the one at Dalhousie,[1] but I don't think they are reliable sources. TFD (talk) 02:18, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You’re free to denominate the article for deletion. I personally feel that the book sources provided by Schazjmd are sufficient. R2 (bleep) 03:47, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Recognition[edit]

In my rewrite, I removed the following from the recognition section:

Dalglish is a founding member and director of Ashoka Canada, and is the recipient of three honorary doctorate degrees. Dalglish is the recipient of a Vanier Award, Fellowship of Man Award, and the Dalhousie Law School Weldon Award for Unselfish Public Service. He was selected by Junior Chamber International in 1988 as "one of the 10 outstanding young people of the world."

I couldn't find sources for any of those, other than in "biographies" apparently provided by Dalglish himself or in pages quoting the old Wikipedia article. If anyone can find reliable independent sources for any of those awards, please add. Thanks! Schazjmd (talk) 16:03, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
