This is a very borderline case. Being a student assoc pres, clearly isn't notable. Most of this, especially negative claims, is based on a student newspaper. Most items covering him aren't indepth,  That which is in-depth, such as this is a highly bias attack, and casts doubt on the source. I was relectunt to nominate, as this meets technical requirements of WP:BIO (as far as having multiple non-trivial sources), but only barely, and seems to be a creation of a single-purpose-account, set out to attack somebody within the letter of the rules of Wikipedia.

 * Strong delete. Not notable. Not borderline either. Kittybrewster  &#9742;  20:27, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete ha! Student council is not a base for notability - no substantial coverage in reliable sources to justivy inclusion under WP:N. – Toon (talk)  20:29, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Same thing I said at BLP/N: not notable outside of his university, no significant coverage from real newspapers. r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 21:11, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete without getting into the question about if student newspapers are reliable sources or not, I would think that you could not consider it independent enough from the student association to establish notability, and I don't think there is enough outside that to establish notability. --kelapstick (talk) 22:01, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:BIO and is non-notable. Drawn Some (talk) 23:21, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The fact that "references" are used to support the claim "He is a member of the Liberal Party of Canada" is ludicrous - he is a member of the Young Liberals, and the citations in no way support the claim made. He is not currently a politician, he is a card-carrying member of a political party. Not notable, per WP:BIO. Mind  matrix  23:26, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete; nothing in this article demonstrates any actual notability of the type that would warrant an encyclopedia entry. Bearcat (talk) 00:22, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete This is not borderline in the slightest and the article should actually be blanked on BLP grounds. Shocking this has not been taken care of before. --Cameron Scott (talk) 20:53, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is no assertion to any kind of notability here and being president of the student association does not make hima politician. HJMitchell    You rang?  07:14, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
