A colourful character but hardly notable. Has run in a number of elections as a fringe candidate but never elected. Doesn't meet
]- Keep - As archbishop of the Christ the King Graceland Independent Anglican Church of Canada as well as a key figure in the Progressive Canadian Party looks very notable to me. As a highly visible and constantly in the news, I'd say there are easily a good number of sources to support this. It would be detrimental to not have this article in the encyclopedia, given most people in central Ontario know of him. Outback the koala (talk) 17:23, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I believe this entry should be kept. The combination of the controversies with the Anglican Church and Children's Aid Society, his political activity (always a fringe candidate, but always popular and well-covered in the media), and his church work as the Rev. Elvis Priestly make him a high-profile enough figure to warrant inclusion. stantoro (talk) 13:37, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - referencing needs to be improved, but Google News clearly suggests sufficient coverage of various events over several years, meets ]

- Keep Multiple RS coverage means he meets the GNG. Use of an SNG which isn't even a central "claim to fame" for him is a pretty dubious reason for deletion, but I agree with the immediately prior !voter that the article could clearly stand to be improved.

- Keep Needs to be edited, but the fact that his is consistently and persistently a notable figure in the region, the politics and the press suggests he should be kept on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drclark (talk • contribs) 00:17, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
