Stephen LeDrew[edit]

Non-notable municipal election candidate. Never held political office. I don't think that being president of a political party constitutes notability. Suttungr 13:14, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~. Keep. He's notable and well-known in Canada. His last-minute candidacy here in Toronto is garnering significant media attention due to his name recognition and the fact that he is a significant political player in Canada (albeit one that has not held public office).

Keep I think his political past confers notability. And we have an entry for the current Liberal Party president - Michael Eizenga. Catchpole 13:22, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - LPC President by itself is notable enough for me. -Joshuapaquin 13:58, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for LPC President, not Mayoral candidacy, should be stubbed though. -- Chabuk 16:05, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep if only for his status as past Liberal Party president. Who could ever forget the glasses and bowtie... Kirjtc2 17:32, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I think presidency of a major national political party (of any country) is notable. In addition, LeDrew is a frequent commentator on Canadian television. Agent 86 19:37, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Well-known figure. CJCurrie 20:44, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - deleting this article would be "dumb as a bag of hammers". Murphy Brown 21:47, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the above comments, WP:OSTRICH comes into play here. Yamaguchi先生 03:15, 30 September 2006
Keep; regardless of his status in the municipal election, he's a notable political strategist and media commentator. He's no less notable than John Tory was in 2003. Bearcat 05:50, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
