[edit] Larry R. Heather

Has lost a few elections and made some ludicrous statements, but does not appear to pass guideline for inclusion of humans.

• Keep, or barring that merge. Heather's past makes for an interesting bio, and I believe his status as a perennial candidate makes him sufficiently notable (he also holds an executive position in a provincial party of some note, in any case). I originally had this on the CHP 2006 list page, but decided there was enough material for a credible bio. CJCurrie 04:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom. --Ardenn 05:20, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Multiple newspaper references, ran against prime minister in his riding, and hosts a radio show. Good enough in the notability department as far as I'm concerned. Fagstein 06:14, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Comment you meant premier... Ralph Klein :: Colin Keigher 09:37, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I meant prime minister Stephen Harper, though he wasn't prime minister at the time, I suppose. Fagstein 18:09, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, 105 google results against a living person == utterly unimportant. Quatloo 09:35, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. A merge would also be acceptable, but it seems like there's enough information for an entire article devoted just to this one candidate. He is notable as a perennial candiate and as an activist. NoIdeaNick 09:55, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - My POV may wish he weren't exposed, but he is and he appears to have some importance. Captainktainer 16:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep as per above. Wstaffor 23:21, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
• keep per Captaintainer. The guy's a yahoo, but if we can have articles for other such gadflies and annoyances who seem to attract undeserved media attention (like Fred Phelps)... Pat Payne 21:53, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per fine arguments above. Samaritan 07:34, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
