[edit] James Scott Richardson

Useless article. Very little information. Barely worth reading. Only information is that a complaint was filed against him Imstillhere 03:34, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - This article seems to be a self-serving article to inflate the ego of a self-serving idiot (Richard_Warman)
  • The above comment and "vote" was posted by Imstillhere, the nominator for the AFD. Vote should only be counted once. Homey 06:01, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge this and his buddy to a new section on "Neo-Nazism in Canada" in Neo-Nazism. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-24 03:40Z
• Merge to Neo-Nazism, per Quarl. ("Canadian Ethnic Cleansing Team" - is that an Olympic event now?) Dbtfz 04:01, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep The article is about the fact that the website led to their downfall. Ruby 04:18, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Nominator fails to mention relevant deletion criteria other than the fact that the nom dislikes the article. —Viriditas | Talk 05:02, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable. -- Kjkolb 05:27, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - has gotten significant press in London, Ontario. Homey 05:59, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - references back up statements, the article doesn't do anything wrong if it stays. Ronline ✉ 07:28, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Not only the famous are encyclopedic. So are the infamous. Ifnord 15:05, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless we are prepared to accept every gang or political movement leader no matter how small or local as long as some controvery can be established involving him or her. Carlossuarez46 22:06, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge - as per Quarl's suggestion. -Localzuk ^(talk) 23:23, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - page is linked to be two other notable pages. Doesn't hurt to keep it. --Zsinj 03:51, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Planned to kill the PM. Seems notable to me. - Jaysus Chris 04:56, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Pah, probably every city has at least one whackjob who's planned to kill the PM or equivalent at one time or another. Planning does not equal intent. --Agamemnon2 06:51, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Trubunal did not hear evidence of any plan to assassinate the prime minister. Close associate to Richard Warman, Randy Richmond wrote a misleading article with a false title. Imstillhere 15:46, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - It is a waste of time and web space to flatter every individual on the far-right with a Wiki definition. Dogmatic
• Keep For the love of Pete! I'M NOT RICHARD WARMAN!!!!! In any event while this individual might not warrant a huge entry he is notable enough to have a small one. AnnieHall 03:53, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

- keep - Richardson was a major figure in the Canadian neo-Nazi movement during his tenure - was charged with numerous criminal offences as a result of material that appeared on the CECT website - subject of a human rights complaint and the decision can be added (or a link) once it comes out (does anyone know if it's out yet?)
