Royal Commission on the Economic Union and Development Prospects for Canada
This seemingly formal article on Canadian politics starts to get strange in the 3rd paragraph: '''Or because he grabbed a woman's ass at a political function showing him to be the mysoginist dinosaur that he is. Who can tell? Not me and in next paragraph: Turner's habit of slapping female asses'''. Then the last paragraph:'''It is important to note the ass-grab incident involved Liberal Party President Iona Campagnolo, who slapped Turner's ass right back. This reciprocity agreement between them did not prevent uppity feminists from causing a stink over what they saw as condescension, but what was clearly a deferential, dog-like show a respect among equals. Indeed, the connection between Iona Campagnolo's ass, John Turner's hand, and the MacDonald Commission will continue to fascinate Canadians for as long as asses, hands and commissions exist.'''

 * Speedy Keep Nomination withdrawn below. No disagreement. ~ trialsanderrors 01:13, 14 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. NPOV issues are not generally considered grounds for deletion.  The commission itself seems to exist; this is linked from Rodrigue Tremblay and Royal Commission.  Delete the last three paragraphs, and keep the first two with an appropriate stub label.  Suggest the entire article for fact checking.  Smerdis of Tlön 19:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Not only the commission, but also the described incident ~ trialsanderrors 20:12, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, stubify using this for example, rename to MacDonald Commission and send the current version to WP:BJAODN. ~ trialsanderrors 20:06, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, legitimate commission. Disappointing that that bunch of crud was in the article for so long, but those before me have cleaned it up.  The butt-touching incident may even have occured at a commission event (I haven't looked that hard), but that incident is more appropriately covered in an article on the particular election campaign it affected, an article on Turner, or possibly even an article on feminism.

 * Comment - This discussion should be closed. Anyone who actually looks at the article will see that the above quoted material was removed by someone from the article yesterday. This isuue no longer exists. My nomination is withdrawn. KarenAnn 17:16, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
