Closed / withdrawn by nominator -- Ian Rose ( talk) 09:40, 22 September 2011 (UTC) reply
I previously nominated this article here, over a year ago, for A-Class status, and it failed because of a lack of reviews, not for any particular content reason. I am renominating now because I still feel that my original reason for nomination applies: it has been certified as a good article for some time now and, now that he has died, I feel that all the resources have now surfaced for this article to meet the criteria. As Canada's final surviving veteran of World War I, he was not only an important historical figure for the country, but one of the final links to one of the largest military conflicts in human history.

I'm choosing to withdraw my nomination. I think that a common idea is that his fame is too over-balanced to late in life to write an A Class article, so I'll agree with that and say that it's probably not worth keeping this nomination open. So nothing personal and no hard feelings - hopefully a book will come out some time in the future (but probably not). Cheers, Canadian Paul 15:39, 17 September 2011 (UTC) reply
