[edit] Linda Slavin

Not elected yet. It seems like this is a campaign ad. Non notable. Dysepsion 23:04, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep. True, Slavin has yet to win election, but she seems to be a notable third party candidate [1], winning a significant fraction of the vote, in what would be the rough US equivalent of a Congressional (House) race. This is also not her first run; she has been in politics since 1987. Finally, the article does not read like a campaign ad (trust me, I've seen campaign ads.) Sdedeo 00:30, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment; I have expanded the entry a little and did some research. Slavin has been involved in electoral politics on a national level since 1984, and seems to be a figure of note in social justice causes for a long time before that. A little googling shows that she's definitely notable by wiki standards. She seems to be one of those "raging granny" 60s-radical types with a long history of activism. Trent University thinks her significant enough to list her and her husbands correspondance in their archives. Sdedeo 00:51, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
