• Neutral. May need to shorten to correlate with significance. Request somebody with knowledge of Canadian politics to see how significant this Freedom Party of Canada is; seems pretty small and irrelevant, but deserving of a mention. Need to clarify, and see if there's any dirt on him to be NPOV. People's Front of Judea anyone? Dunc Harris | Talk 12:25, 26 May 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. I'd never heard of the Freedom Party of Canada, which Mr. McKeever has founded, before today. Which makes sense, since they're neither registered nor running candidates in the 2004 federal election...if I just popped off with five of my friends and started my own unregistered party, would I be worthy of a Wikipedia article? The Party's page itself I'm not so strong on, but the vanity page should go. Lord Bob 14:49, May 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • The new NPOV version is much better, I must say, and I really had no idea that the FP was registered in Ontario. I'm therefore dropping my 'delete' vote. Lord Bob 18:07, May 26, 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. He gets almost 1000 hits, his party almost 4000, and his mondo politico web site over 30,000. The party IS registered in Ontario[1], and, at least according to their web site, has been around since 1984. I have worked on the first few paragraphs of the article to format and reduce the excess blah, blah. Niteowlneils 16:34, 26 May 2004 (UTC)
• Ok, I've reverted to a more succinct NPOV version but can someone keep an eye on the page and intervene when McKeever/drdolittle inevitably reverts it to his vanity version? I'm not going to be online a lot in the next few days and I don't have time to deal with egos. AndyL 17:00, 26 May 2004 (UTC)
