The result was   delete. In view of WP:BLP, I am uncomfortable keeping an unsourced biography with contentious content based on two "weak keep"s.  Sandstein  05:49, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Fails WP:Notable, Has been tagged as an unreferenced BLP since 2006. It is also WP:Original research since it seems to have been written by a regular reader of Mr. Warren's who is giving us his (or her) opinions of his work, such as: "He is argueably the most socially conservative collumnist currently active in Canada, representing an ideology that can be summarized as neo-falangist."

 * I tried to notify the contributors to the article but it doesn't look like any of them (that made more than one edit) are still active on WP. Steve Dufour (talk) 00:42, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. He sure kicks up controversy, but it's mostly blogs talking about him. His columns are provocative, and he's been around for a while, but it's not easy to find reliable sources for his notability. How about:. LifeSiteNews.com are fans, but that's not an RS.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 00:20, 6 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Insufficiently notable as far as any non-blogger sites are concerned.  Maybe if he gets major syndication or the like, but not now. Collect (talk) 12:36, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comments Blogs aren't neccesarily non-reliable. It depends on who writes them and who has editorial control over it. Please read WP:BLOGS and explain why the mentioned blogs aren't reliable. - Mgm|(talk) 09:36, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
