I have a source to work from called Fifty Years on Theatre Row, an autobiographical book written by Ivan Ackery, so I'll be working on expanding the article.

It's important to get some mention of notability in an article, especially when first created. Even if style/grammar/format is poor, anything to assert notability so that other editors can have some judgment of whether the subject merits an article is important. I have spent a little time looking up the book (and any other info I could find). There is mention of Ackery winning two "Quigley Awards" for theater promotion, something that makes him more notable than being a Vancouver theater manager (even a friendly, likeable one with a small autobiography). The difficulty I am having is finding any information that defines the Quigley Award. Being an award winner may be enough to satisfy
WP:BIO (and including this info in the article should be enough to prevent a speedy deletion), but if the award is not really notable itself, then the article might not survive a future AfD discussion on notability. Hope that helps.
