 * Merge to Canadian federal election, 2008. There are plenty of news sources about it but not enough detail for a separate article. Double Blue  (Talk) 01:44, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge to Canadian federal election, 2008. No evidence yet of independent notability, though it's gotten some publicity. For all that I'm a Canadian who dislikes Harper et al., do we really need to be giving free publicity to any particular party? I'd say that things like this press release only serve to vindicate my concern. { { Nihiltres | talk | log } } 04:14, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I share your concern and it underlines the need to guard against POV but this website has been discussed in many major newspapers, magazines, and TV news and we must also guard against a POV omission. Double Blue  (Talk) 06:21, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, plenty of press coverage. Everyking (talk) 06:04, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - for some reason the original reference to an independent news organization (CBC News) was removed and the article was sourced to a Liberal press release. It's received attention and the federal election article will likely get too long to be out of proportion.  An alternative may be a Political websites of the 2008 Canadian election or something to that tune. -- Tawker (talk) 21:20, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
