 * 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, 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)
