Per WP:PERP. The article has been around for 10 years with almost no sources. I am unable to find any reliable independent secondary sources about Dalglish unrelated to his recent child molestation conviction (aside from this passing mention by CBC). Dalglish isn't a renowned figure and, sadly, his crime isn't unusual in motivation or execution (see WP:PERP). R2 (bleep) 22:32, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I found several sources that cover his aid work (prior to the conviction); it was just a quick search but all 3 seem to have quite a bit of content on him: book;[1] another book;[2] another book;[3] plus Order of Canada[4] (I don't know if Order of Canada is a significant award, just throwing it in because it came up on search). A number of other books in the humanitarian field don't have coverage of him but do mention/credit/thank him, so it seems like he is renowned in that field.

Schazjmd, thanks for the sources, but I have no way to verify that the books include significant coverage of Dalglish (or to use them to improve the article). Would you mind quoting the relevant passages for each? The Order of Canada source is just the announcement that the CBC source was based on. Just a passing reference.

Ahrtoodeetoo, quotes would be too extensive (copyvio). Here's google books link to Canada in Sudan, pgs 103-104, 109-111, 142-143. Caring for the World, pgs 42-45. Emma's War, chapter 12. Schazjmd (talk) 23:14, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
