Not notable. The only source is a single passing mention in the "Atlantic Free Press". A google search yields 16 results (ignoring omitted results). The article has been previously speedied per WP:CSD and WP:CSD.  Rami  R  20:47, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. The article also refers to "the cover article "The Business of War" in the December 2006 issue of Men's Magazine", which does not appear to be available online. If Men's Magazine is a reliable source and the level of detail in the article is sufficient, then notability has been established. But I am reluctant to !vote keep without seeing the article. Perhaps a visit to the library is in order. As well, there are WP:COI problems with the article. --Eastmain (talk) 21:20, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Very curious. I had to dig a bit to find Men's Magazine. There is a record in Ulrich's Periodicals Directory for a Canadian publication of that name - but the record is under the title Everyman. A note says 'Formerly (until 1992): Men's Magazine (Canada)'. They might have changed their name back to the former one, but at the moment my sensors are tingling. -- BPMullins | Talk 04:15, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The magazine is published by Studio Publications in Canada. The article "The Business of War" was written by Ian Tizzard of Tizz Communications. The article was published in the December 2006 issue. http://www.studiopublications.net/ You'll notice the magazine titled "Men's Magazine" which is second from the top on the left... that funny enough is the issue he was featured in. If you look close enough at the cover you'll see on the bottom right where it says "Modern Day Soldiers"... that's the article.
 * Delete unless citations from reliable sources are added in order to comply with the verifiability policy. Stifle (talk) 19:55, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
