Tom Freda
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable vanity page for self-styled republican advocate of CCR. Fails WP:N, WP:BIO. There are no reliable third-party sources to justify the article. Notability has never been established - Google hits don't establish notability, valid, reliable 3rd-party sources do. A couple of protests and newspaper articles does not make one notable. Since the article has gone through 2 AFDS no valid sources have been added to establish notability. One of the executive members of this CCR has also serious conflict of interest, created Citizens for a Canadian Republic, vanity page for personal website, Filibuster Cartoons, and his own page J.J. McCullough (User:J.J.. All of these fail WP notability guidelines miserably. I am suspicious that User:J.J., who is a member of the CCR "executive commitee", has been using sockpuppets and what have you to promote the organization on Wikipedia. This behaviour should not be tolerated and User:J.J. should be sanctioned. Delete all once and for all and let us send a message to those who try to abuse WP for fringe promotional efforts.

 * Merge with Citizens for a Canadian Republic (if that article survives its AFD). On his own, Freda does not seem to have much notability, but some of this info can easily be moved. And we should avoid terms such as "vanity pages" as there is no evidence that the article was created by Freda himself.  freshacconci  talk talk  18:25, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge to Citizens for a Canadian Republic - Freda does not appear to be that notable (given the lack of reliable sources), and his only claim to fame appears to be his association with that organisation. Lankiveil (speak to me) 04:42, 15 November 2008 (UTC).
