Photo apparently added in error. There's been an editwar at en:Jim Gordon (politician) over the inclusion of this photo in the infobox, but I personally grew up in the city that Jim Gordon was mayor of, and can definitively confirm this is not him (see also image here for further proof, because again I can attest from personal knowledge, that's Jim Gordon.) Although this came from the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario's Flickr photostream, that stream does not identify the subject as Jim Gordon (or anybody else) either (and thus I have no idea where anybody ever got the idea that it was Jim Gordon.) The related File:Elizabeth Dowdeswell and Jim Gordon 2014 (15790880629).jpg, from which this was extracted, has been submitted by me for renaming on the same basis; the other image is fine for retention since Elizabeth Dowdeswell (who has an article) is also in it, but this extraction should just be deleted as a misidentification. If we can ever figure out who it actually is and he has a Wikipedia article to use it in, then we can always just re-extract it at a later date. Bearcat (talk) 00:32, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. I checked the Flicker metadata to figure out when the photo was posted, ran a search to see what happened on Dowdeswell's visit to Sudbury on that date, and nailed it: en:Gaétan Gervais. Consider this withdrawn, I'll submit a renaming request for it instead. Bearcat (talk) 00:49, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn as I successfully located who it actually is. Bearcat (talk) 00:49, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
