Keep Factional political leader in the 3rd largest political party in Canada. This article never should have been challenged. Carrite (talk) 03:15, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete whilst he has said comments in the media [1], there is not actual coverage about Barry. this article deserved to be challenged. LibStar (talk) 12:26, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, needs more evidence of notability, if available. When I compare this article against WP:NOTE, I don't think it meets the criteria. PK T(alk) 14:29, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Addenda With all due respect, here's a link to an article in the Toronto Star — not an insignificant paper and the self-claimed #1 internet news provider in Canada — directly quoting Weisleder in the lead: Star Link. Notability seems pretty obvious from this one snippet alone (although the full piece is pay-to play, unfortunately). This is clearly a misdirected challenge here...

that article merely verifies he's a union spokesperson, it's not an article about Barry himself like his career history or education. it does little to advance a case his notability. this article is definitely worthy of being deleted. LibStar (talk) 13:30, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Although he did write a book and a few articles, he isn't notable enough to pass the criteria. Dengero (talk) 01:54, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
