The result was SPEEDY DELETE This is an A7. It is also link spam by professinal political promoters. It dies here. -Doc 08:04, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete unless "had various news articles about him." can be verified as to meet WP:BIO. MER-C 14:19, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Candidates are not notable simply by virtue of being candidates. --Storkk 13:57, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

He is all over the news, check any Toronto newspaper... search the Toronto Star, the Sun, the Globe and Mail. CP24 has also mentioned him several times.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.68.44.37 (talk • contribs)

Then why not wait until after the elections to delete this article? Right now he is a candidate, he matters to people, and they should be able to read about him. If/when he loses, and people stop caring, then delete it since you are so eager to delete it. It isn't harming anyone having it here, it has been cited to prove that it isn't a lie (the link to the global tv spot for him), and it isn't breaking any rules. He is running, there is proof, what else do you want?

I have read all the rules and regulations of Bios on wikipedia and haven't written more because it should be left open to the public to add more to his page. My only argument is that he is being covered in all the major Toronto news sources, as well as some national news and therefore is a credible candidate who deserves a page.

  • Strong Delete this article is political puff. We are not a webhost for election publicity. -Doc 08:00, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
