This article was created by the subject himself, User:J.J., which is against WP guidelines. It looks like a vanity page as a consequence. The organization itself is not really notable in Canada (we are currently debating whether to list for AfD there) but that is a different matter. He claims to be a politician but has not run for public office - university positions don't count. Anyway, with respect to WP guidelines, strong suggestion for delete. User:J.J. has also edited Filibuster Cartoons, a vanity page about a website he runs, and he created and has edited Citizens for a Canadian Republic, a non-notable organization which he represents. In my opinion the user in question should be sanctioned about this behaviour. Laval (talk) 22:13, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I'm actually pretty sure it was not created by him, because he has not announced his direction for office —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.90.53.255 (talk) 01:23, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Appears to be too late to merge the AfDs. People will just have to vote in both, if they have an interest. EdJohnston (talk) 01:19, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. No evidence of notability. Has been the cartoonist for a student newspaper. That's about it. Even this claim lacks a reliable source. EdJohnston (talk) 01:17, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as vanity page. Even if he was notable he should not be writing his own article. That stands against guidelines.--NAHID 07:36, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
