This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Canada. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Canada|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Canada. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Americas.

Previously soft-deleted for lack of notability. I doubt the topic has since become notable. Janhrach (talk) 13:39, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep – Eren Legend meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines due to his recognized impact in the bodybuilding community. He has been featured in reputable fitness magazines and websites, with coverage from independent sources discussing his achievements and training insights. His involvement in bodybuilding competitions and contributions to fitness culture further support his notability. Deleting the article would remove a relevant figure from the fitness community, and the existing sources substantiate his presence in the field. Therefore, I believe the article should be kept at least a Biography stubs. Lukadon (talk) 03:14, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a local-interest organization, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for organizations. As always, organizations are not automatically notable enough for Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to show passage of WP:GNG on a significant volume and depth of third-party coverage about the organization -- but this features no actual footnoting at all, and instead just contextlessly lists two "references": the organization's own self-published website about itself, which is not support for notability at all, and a single news article about it in the local media, which is fine but not enough to get this over GNG all by itself if it's the only GNG-worthy source in the article.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to have a lot more media coverage than this. Bearcat (talk) 20:47, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP with some résumé-like overtones of a lawyer, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for lawyers. As always, lawyers are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on third-party reliable source coverage about them and their work.
But this is "referenced" almost entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability, such as her "staff" profiles on the self-published websites of directly affiliated organizations and her own writing being cited as metaverification of its own existence -- and the only properly reliable third-party source present at all is a Q&A interview in which she's talking about herself in the first person, which thus does not magically get her over GNG all by itself as the only non-primary source in the article.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to pass GNG on better sourcing than this. Bearcat (talk) 15:33, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The page isn't well written but I believe it has potential to improve by addressing the valid concerns raised like better sourcing. Gartner is not a practicing lawyer and the book, I suspect but don't know, is not an attempt to make money. I'd be surprised to find out differently regarding the book. Gartner is active and notable in the animal rights community and has helped people protect animals especially in situations where the law is unclear or outdated. IronStrikesIron (talk) 14:57, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We don't keep articles just because somebody asserts that it might be possible to address sourcing problems — anybody can say that about anything, even outright hoaxes. So to get an article kept, it's not enough to just assert that better sourcing might exist somewhere that nobody's actually found or shown — you have to show hard evidence that properly WP:GNG-worthy sourcing actually does exist. Bearcat (talk) 15:45, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Point taken. Zanahary has noted some potential sources above. I'll look at those and also search for more WP:GNG worthy sources. IronStrikesIron (talk) 19:37, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep Having looked in Spanish, most sources are Venezuelan film organisations (Gran Cine, Trasnocho Cultural, government) that kinda just mention its existence. However, there's a few international sources about screenings and festivals, and the cast (Cervantes Institute, La Vanguardia). Small coverage, but RS and more than 'look we made this'. The film also got a wide cinema release in Venezuela - which would be no small feat any time after 2014, but is frankly outstanding that it happened in 2020. (El Estímulo, El Universal). Possibly the best source to start the article afresh with might be this Unión Radio piece (and interview?) about it. I don't think El Carabobeño is generally accepted as RS, but it has an article about the film being adapted from Villarroel's book, itself based on a true story, that could be useful if acceptable. Also to note, most of the awards listed on its IMDb are absolute duds, and as such the (probably quite evident anyway) Venezuelan government propaganda media, just listing off how many global awards this thing got, should be avoided.

      The book notes: "ElderTreks is an adventure travel company designed exclusively for individuals aged 50 and over. It is based in Toronto, Canada, and was established in 1987 by Gary Murtagh. ElderTreks offers trips in over 100 countries and includes destinations in Africa, the Americas, the Asia-Pacific Region, Europe, the Middle East, and the Polar regions. Some of the travel proposals include, for example, wildlife and tribal African safaris, active hiking trips to the Rockies, Himalayas and Andes expeditions by icebreakers to the Arctic and Antarctic, and cultural journeys throughout Asia and South America. ElderTreks proposes small group experiences. For example, the maximum group size for land adventures is 16, and expedition ships rather than cruise ships are used for ship-based adventures. Smaller vessels allow for more personal interaction and reduce the impact at the sites visited. Before the establishment of ElderTreks, Gary Murtagh was running trips all over the world to exotic destinations and he realized that there was not a specific adventure travel company targeting the 50-plus market."

      The book notes: "Eldertreks is the world’s first adventure travel company for people over fifty. The goal of the program is to promote genuine, noncommercial encounters with local people and nature’s wonders. Locations include thirty-one destinations worldwide. ... All of Eldertreks’ trips involve some walking, in groups of fifteen people or less. You can choose a trip with activity ratings from easy to challenging, but you should be in fairly good shape. Accommodation levels are mostly mid-range hotels and high-end guest houses and inns — all charming, comfortable, and safe. Restaurants range from small, local eateries to elegant retreats."

      The book notes: "One company that’s specializes in adventure travel for mature adults is ElderTreks and president Tov Mason, a mere lad of 33 but already a specialist in adventure trips for younger travellers, is fast becoming expert at creating adventures for their mature counterparts. ElderTreks, often led by Mason himself, have so far included trips to Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Borneo, the Galapagos Islands, Java and Sumatra, Belize, Costa Rica and Ecuador. But any one tour may accommodate travellers of differing physical abilities. For example, a recent jaunt to Indonesia saw about half of the group explore a gentle countryside at an equally gentle pace while the remainder of the group tackled dense jungles on foot and by canoe and spent the night in a native village."

      The book notes: "ElderTreks of Toronto has the right idea with their “exotic adventures for the young at heart” tailored to fit 50 plus travellers. An example is their 21-day tour in Thailand: sightseeing in Bangkok and surrounds is followed by an overnight train ride to Chang Mai, with the week there highlighted by a bicycle trip into the countryside. From Chang Mai the group divides; some choose to go to the far north for three days; others opt to stay with the people living in the hills. The latter entails an elephant trek through the jungle and overnighting on bamboo floors of village houses. An experience of a lifetime for sure, but not for everyone, which is exactly why ElderTreks offers a less demanding alternative in the Golden Triangle. "

      The book notes: "EIderTreks' Web site contains a lot of good information about trips geared a specifically toward the 50-or-older traveler. This company specializes in adventure travel. In other words, the trips you'll find at this site aren't designed for people who like to be pampered while on vacation. On Elder Treks' home page you'll see a post filled with signs to destinations such as Central Asia, Africa, Europe, the Americas, the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, and Asia Minor and the Middle East. If you click on a sign destination, you'll link to a Web page that describes all of the trips that are currently offered in that region. You'll also find information about the cost, the length of stay, and where travelers will arrive and depart on each trip. Some trips give travelers the option of extending their stay."

      The book notes: "Not designed for those who prefer to view the world through bus windows or will sleep in five-star hotels only, ElderTreks is a program of off-the-beaten-track trips for people 50 and older (and younger companions) who are in reasonably good physical condition, capable of walking at a comfortable pace in tropical conditions. Featuring exotic adventures to relatively remote places in the world, it stresses cultural interaction, physical activity, and nature exploration. However, trekking routes are chosen with older hikers in mind and groups are limited to 15. Trekking portions of the trips are optional and you may choose to substitute a guesthouse-based itinerary."

      The book notes: "Nineteen-year-old ElderTreks is the world's first adventure travel company designed exclusively for people fifty and over; it provides exciting small-group activities on the land and sea in more than eighty countries. Excursions focus on adventure, indigenous cultures, and nature. Check out the wildlife in Tanzania, scour the Gobi Desert in Mongolia on a camel, witness the awesome spectacles of Angkor Wat in Thailand, and even visit the seventh continent of Antarctica. All of these adventures and more are possible when you travel with ElderTreks."

      The book notes: "Assuring "exotic adventures for the young at heart," ElderTreks offers off-the-beaten-path cultural experiences to destinations such as Sumatra, Bali, Thailand, and Morocco. The two to three-week trips are geared for travelers who want to really explore and experience a country, from strolling through street markets and cycling through a tropical countryside to the human encounter of sharing dinner with a local family in their home.

      The article notes: "Passages Exotic Expeditions, ElderTreks' parent company, was founded in 1987 *when adventure travel was just in its infancy," according to sales manager Christine Bossence. After five years of catering to all ages, executives noticed there was a big demand from mature travelers seeking active vacations in far-flung destinations without hassles such as arranging for local transportation and accommodations on the spot. Thus, Elder Treks was born as a division of Passages Exotic Expeditions in 1992. It now offers over five dozen adventures in 90 countries, including Libya, Morocco, Madagascar, Hungary/Roma-nia, Sri Lanka, India, Myan-mar, Borneo and Bhutan. Available next year are new programs to Malta, Egypt, Iceland, Papua New Guinea, Belize/Tikal and the Czech Republic/Slovakia/Poland."

[quote] The 21-day Cultural West Africa trip loops through Mali and Burkina Faso, with a safari on the Niger River and a trip to Timbuktu"

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow ElderTreks to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".

    Cunard (talk) 09:23, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Though these are reliable sources, most of them read like they are merely mentioning the company and its product listings, i.e. adventure travel for 50+ adults. There is not much in the way of commentary here, and to me these read more as examples of WP:OrgTRIV rather than WP:SUBSTANTIAL. Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 19:23, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree with this assessment of the sources. ElderTreks is profiled on pages 130–136 of the academic book Older Tourist Behavior and Marketing Tools published by Springer International Publishing. As this book review from the Journal of the Association for Anthropology & Gerontology notes:

In the third part, the researcher discusses so-called case studies illustrating various strategies adopted in the tourism industry, on the basis of specific examples. The subject of the analysis comprised three tourism firms: (I) Viaggi Floreali (Slovenia), specialising in tourism for small groups of seniors; (II) ElderTreks (Canada), specialising in tourism for individual seniors; (III) Algarve Senior Living (Great Britain), specialising in the rental of tourist facilities. The qualitative research carried out by Vigolo is based on the following methodology: (1) determination of how the company began to target older people; (2) description of the target and its characteristics; (3) description of the company’s distinctive elements; (4) description of the marketing mix (product, price, place, and promotion strategies); (5) analysis of the market context, with a focus on active aging and on challenges for the tourism industry (Vigolo 2017, 129).

Kruempelmann 2002 provides 277 words of coverage about how the company's travel itineraries work. Isobel Warren's book provides 208 words of coverage. Pam Hobbs's book provides 282 words of coverage. The books provides the authors' commentary about what they think about the company's travel itineraries. None of these sources are trivial coverage. The sources meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Significant coverage, which says, "Deep or significant coverage provides an overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the product, company, or organization."

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:

    People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.

    • If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

Responding to comments above

  • A Search Engine Entrepreneur Hits the Right Keys is by a writer who has no other articles on the site or anywhere else on the internet, although she has the same name as an established journalist who has never written for the Village Voice. The article was published 2 days before the Wiki page. Doesn't seem like an RS to me.
  • Our Place Fans Will Love This Minimalist Kitchenware Brand doesn't mention Chou at all.
  • Starter Story is a podcast that gets its information from primary source interviews and publishes notes from the podcast interview on its blog. Not an RS from what I've read of wiki rules.
  • That leaves Business of Home, Reader's Digest, and Futurism. (The same Business of Home article is repeated 3 times as 3 individual references).
  • WP:THREE isn't Wikipedia policy - it's the opinion of 1 editor, but even then, it says to post 2 or 3 sources for discussion, not that only 2 or 3 sources are needed for notability
  • The article could be improved if better sources existed but I couldnt find any. Milkywaythegodfather (talk) 03:34, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Eilene Zimmerman, the author of The Village Voice piece, is a journalist for The New York Times. From her website, "She was a columnist for The New York Times for eight years and since 2003 has been a regular contributor to the newspaper." She is a reputable journalist. That she has written only one article—published just a few weeks ago—for The Village Voice does not make the source unreliable. Nor does the article become unreliable for being published two days before the Wikipedia page was published. There is enough coverage in these sources to allow Jacky Chou to meet Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria and Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline.

    Delete or dratify per WP:BIO with WP:TOOSOON in mind. Several citations are repeated, but of the sources given, the only independent publishers are Coast Reporter and My Powell River Now, two small local news sites / blogs. The rest are primary sources from the NDP or Jäger Rosenberg himself. The coverage by the news sites is largely routine due to the current election cycle, with the only point of notability being Rosenberg's young age, which in my opinion is not enough for standalone notability.
    If Rosenberg is elected next month in the federal election, then he would have a stronger case for having an article due to his notability as an MP. Until then, however, this article should remain in the draftspace, especially in its current state with citations being limited to primary sources or local coverage.

    Keep, As already stated, I am not him. It's really funny you think I am. I think most of the point for why we should keep this article are already on the talk page, but I'll say some again. Being the youngest candidate to ever run is very notable. For someone of that age to be approved to run either for a party nomination or be approved as a major party candidate is very notable. Yes, he hasn't won an election (yet), but lots of other candidates who didn’t win have pages because their candidacy is notable in some other way. There are reliable sources talking about the historical nature of his candidacy—yes, most of them are local to his riding, but that isn’t all that uncommon. I'll admit that maybe I was a little hasty to publish this article, I haven’t written very many, but that doesn’t mean it should be deleted. At the moment, he is notable and it is likely that notability will only grow, and if it fades away, then it can be removed at a later date.

    Delete. As previously stated User:Politicsenthusiast06 contributed most of the content to this page. While they have repeated the assertion they are not the candidate, they also have appeared to contribute information which does not appear to be publicly available (for instance, Rosenberg's exchange to Fulda, Germany). Using the Coast Reporter's digital archive tool Digital Archive, and reading all articles around the election, I could find no reference to this detail. Searching on My Powell River Now , I could also find no such reference. It is also not on Rosenberg's campaign page https://jagerrosenberg.ndp.ca/. Keyword searching google also showed no results. How would User:Politicsenthusiast06 know this then? It seems highly likely this was written by Rosenberg, and tracks with the account's history which includes repeated references to Rosenberg.
    To address specific claims:
    "making him the youngest Canadian to seek elected office" The only source for this claim is Rosenberg's campaign page which is not a neutral source. Rosenberg ran for the nomination for the NDP in the riding Powell River-Sunshine Coast https://www.coastreporter.net/local-news/heres-who-is-considering-seeking-the-ndp-nomination-for-powell-river-sunshine-coast-8209413. However, Neill won the race, making Rosenberg NOT a candidate in the 2024 BC Provincial Election https://www.coastreporter.net/politics/randene-neill-wins-powell-river-sunshine-coast-ndp-mla-nomination-after-close-vote-9042891. To reiterate, as Rosenberg was not nominated, he was never a candidate for the BC NDP, making the claim he was the youngest candidate false. Moreover, even if you take the logic that he was the youngest running for nomination, this is not backed with any evidence, and local nomination races are not usually throughly documented, making the claim functionally impossible to verify.
    "He holds dual Canadian and
    German citizenship
    ." This does not seem notable, and while I have not sourced this claim it likely is another piece of evidence towards the page being authored by Rosenberg.
    "Rosenberg is known for his advocacy on mental health, environmental issues, and democratic reform." While these are certainly topics he is interested, I can find no tangible action Rosenberg has taken. The source for this claims seems to be an
    interview with the Coast Reporter
    , where he expresses interest in these topics; however, given his lack of action I do not see this as notable.
    Claims such as "His campaign received notable support" are not sourced, and the NDP have not released the voting data from the nomination. Rosenberg did not receive any other media coverage, nor any other quantifiable forms of support.
    " ... included a notable endorsement from Avi Lewis". When you actually look at the source, Lewis says "this is not a formal endorsement"
    Lewis's Post
    . While supportive, labelling this as an endorsement is a gross and misleading misinterpretation of his words.
    "Rosenberg's candidacy was officially approved very shortly before the vote and faced procedural obstacles" The
    source given
    does not mention this, making it an inaccurate citation. Also, while this is just conjecture, the "procedural obstacles" could likely be a a lack of support, as the nomination procedure usually includes acquiring a certain amount of supporters. I mention this because it could potentially contradict the claim of receiving notable support.
    "Rosenberg's campaign was the first time a Canadian under the age of 18 was permitted to run for office, as he would have turned 18 by the time of swearing-in." This is simply not true. Just for reference, I found
    this candidate
    who was actually nominated, and ran for election. Again, Rosenberg lost the nomination race.
    "... has volunteered with the Vote16 campaign". The source given does not mention this claim. A source for this claim cannot be found online, suggesting another instance where Rosenberg contributed to their own page.
    "leading to unanimous support from the local NDP association". This is called acclamation. While a small critique, writing in this manner distorts the situation.
    In conclusion
    : This page should be deleted. It seems to have been written by the candidate and is rife with misleading and inaccurate claims.
    DeanWithersLover (talk) 20:48, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    1. Again I am not him. I wouldn't say I am close to him but I have met him before and follow his accounts including his personal pages. We are from the same general area.
    2. German Exchange and Fulda: The article references Rosenberg’s semester abroad in Germany, which was covered in Coast Reporter. The specific town (Fulda) is listed in a publicly accessible Facebook post by Rosenberg, which is also cited. While the Coast Reporter didn’t mention the city by name, both sources support the broader point.
    3. Candidate Page Information: It’s my understanding that the NDP candidate websites are managed centrally by the party itself rather than by individual candidates. I would generally assume a major party like the NDP would have internal fact checking to back up any claims they post on their websites.
    4. Candidacy Status: Rosenberg was officially (presumably) registered with Elections BC as a nomination contestant. In British Columbia, nomination races are a formal part of the electoral process and require financial disclosure and regulatory compliance. Just like in U.S. presidential primaries candidates are recognized to have run for President, even if the candidate does not win the nomination, so too should Rosenberg’s candidacy be considered valid and notable under Wikipedia’s criteria. He was not merely a declared aspirant; he was approved and participated in a regulated nomination election.
    5. Dual Citizenship: Rosenberg has publicly mentioned his dual citizenship—Canadian and German—on several occasions, especially on his personal (private) account and intermittently on his campaign one. Which is why I am aware of it and included it. That said, I agree that since there’s not currently a permanent public source stating this clearly (at least that I have found), it should be removed or marked with a citation needed tag until a more verifiable reference is available.
    6. Policy Focus: The article’s mentions of his focus on mental health, the environment, and youth enfranchisement come directly from a Coast Reporter interview and are consistent with his campaign materials.
    7. Avi Lewis: Lewis did offer strong praise of Rosenberg’s capabilities and platform early on, stating his endorsement was waiting on the nomination formally beginning. While that may not count as an official endorsement at the time, Lewis did later endorse Rosenberg—though I couldn’t find a strong enough source to cite that directly. But the NDP's press release and Coast Reporter article's wording around Lewis does also strongly indicate his support and likely endorsement of Rosenberg. Calling it "gross and misleading misinterpretation of his words" is a massive exaggeration.
    8. Procedural obstacles: This was written based on a Reddit thread I read about his supporters being prevented from voting. Based on conversations I've had, it seems to be a relatively widespread belief that there were issues in that particular race. But because I couldn't find any actual reliable sources on it I kept it very vague. On his Facebook he has a post about being formally approved as a nomination candidate, and it's dated very shortly before the nomination meeting date (June 8), I thought I had included that as a source but I guess I forgot.
    9. Vote16 Involvement: While I couldn't find third-party coverage of Rosenberg’s involvement in the Vote16 BC campaign, he’s posted about it multiple times in stories on Instagram. Since stories aren’t permanent, it might be justified to remove.
    10. Acclamation: The wording was based off the Coast Reporter article.
    I think I covered more or less everything. Many of your points are valid, but I hope I cleared up some of the misconceptions. I still believe I was justified in making this article and that Rosenberg is noteworthy enough for this article to remain. Politicsenthusiast06 (talk) 03:39, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for your response. However, I am still firmly in favour of Delete.
    1. I notice you've changed your story. On March 25, on Rosenberg's talk page you said "We're from the same area though and have probably met before". Now you say you "I have met him before". What has changed? Moreover, as you now claim to have a personal connection to the candidate, I would refer you to Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. It's impossible to prove who you are, but it is possible to point out your account's alarming edit history.
    2. I appreciate the clarity. However, as the only source for the claim is a personal facebook post, this hardly seems notable for inclusion. Moreover, it points to a broader lack of substance regarding Rosenberg's candidacy.
    3. It's not possible to ascertain the NDP's internal processes in this scenario, and an assumption is not a valid base for a significant claim. You still have not provided any evidence for this claim, which, I note, you have repeated on numerous occasions in other articles. In addition, Rosenberg was never a candidate for office at 17. While he ran for nomination, he lost, which is significantly different than running for office.
    4. I never disputed that Rosenberg ran for nomination. However, you draw a false equivalency here: A presidential primary and a local provincial riding nomination differ significantly in notability. I reiterate my claim that his candidacy is not notable enough for a page.
    5. Thank you for acknowledging that. Adding information from "his personal (private) account" is not a valid source for claims, and a violation of his privacy.
    6. You did not respond to my claim: I contested his notability in the areas of mental health, the environment, and youth enfranchisement, not whether these are his interests. I cannot find any notable action he has taken on any of these topics; if he is to be labeled as notable in these fields I would appreciate it if you could provide evidence.
    7. Calling something which is clearly labelled as "not a formal endorsement" and endorsement is a gross and misleading interpretation of his words. Yes, he indicates support, which I did not dispute, but he does not provide an endorsement. A "likely endorsement" is not an endorsement. An uncited endorsement is also not an endorsement. Moreover, I also dispute the relevance of an endorsement to the overall page; while certainly Avi Lewis is of note, not everything which he supports is notable.
    8. A reddit thread you read, or conversations you claim to have had are not a reliable base for even a vague claim. An accusation of this nature against the NDP's voting system is significant and potentially libellous. I can find no mention of this in local reporting, nor by the NDP. If you have any evidence, I would strongly encourage it, but as of now I strongly believe this claim is invalid. A late formal approval could indicate a variety of things, including, as I previously conjectured, a lack of support.
    9. Again, adding information from "his personal (private) account" is not a valid source for claims, and a violation of his privacy. Moreover, as the organization has seemed to make no reference to his involvement at any time, this seems highly irrelevant. Also, I question how you retain so many details about Rosenberg's prior stories, unless they are saved that seems quite odd.
    10. While this is of less note than the other issues, I will note that Wikipedia entries should not be simply based off of other wordings. Rather, they should prioritize accuracy and conciseness.
    I believe my points remain valid. While it is impossible to know if you are Rosenberg, the specifics and inconsistencies seem quite evident. However, that is secondary to the main point of my disagreement: Rosenberg is not notable enough for a page.
    1. He has not won any elections for public office.
    2. Simply running for MP is not notable.
    3. Young candidates run for election all the time, it is not of significant importance.
    4. The media attention surrounding his campaign is insignificant, and is likely afforded to anyone who puts their name forward for election.
    5. The individual has done little of note beside attempting to run for office, leaving there insufficient information for a page.
    6. Many of the claims made about his notability are either demonstrably false, or severely unsubstantiated.
    In conclusion, I maintain this page should be deleted. DeanWithersLover (talk) 06:22, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Delete. DeanWithersLover has raised several key points here. There is no reason for this article to exist, even if the numerous problems with it were rectified. The sheer amount of misinformation, demonstrably false, or unsubstantiated claims here is incredible. 2001:569:F085:B000:1402:2C5C:CB35:C2B8 (talk) 02:02, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Another IP address, probably run by the same person, just repeating the same things. Carolebax (talk) 16:44, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    You haven't provided any argument here. While you seem to be very confident the page should be deleted, you haven't provided any substantial evidence or arguments to back that up. Moreover, seems like an odd criticism from an account which has little to no history besides this page. DeanWithersLover (talk) 02:03, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm just gonna respond to the first thing said because the rest is more or less us just repeating the same points. And I respectfully disagree with you. As I said there is no conflict because me and him have no close or personal relationship. Before I said probably because I think I met him before but wasn't entirely sure. Now I know I have because I briefly met him at an event. Still no conflict however, I have also met Pierre Poilievre, John Rustad, Patrick Weiler, and other politicians, but have no personal relationship to any of them and try to keep any biases I have out of my edits. Also nomination candidates are legally candidates for election in BC and Canada, so it counts regardless of your own personal philosophy. Politicsenthusiast06 (talk) 05:18, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, it is repeating the same point: the article should be deleted. I find it quite telling that you will not respond to most the claims. If his candidacy was so notable, it should not be hard for you to argue.
    I do not make my assessment of whether he was a candidate based upon "personal philosophy"; it is based off the definition provided in the Elections Act.
    1. Becoming a candidate is regulated under Section 63. For your reference: "An individual becomes a candidate when all the required nomination documents are accepted for filing and a certificate is issued by the district electoral officer under section 56 (8) or by the chief electoral officer under section 57 (8)"
    2. Now, referring to Section 56, a candidates nomination papers cannot be accepted until the time the election is called. The nomination meeting took place on June 8th, making it impossible for Rosenberg to have fulfilled this requirement.
    3. Referring to Section 57, while papers can be filed beforehand, they will not be processed until the election is called, again making it impossible for Rosenberg to have fulfilled this requirement.
    4. Rosenberg never appeared on the election ballot, and therefore was never a candidate.
    To reiterate, Rosenberg was never an election candidate for the 2024 BC Provincial election, making him legally NOT a candidate.
    While it is impossible to prove you (Politicsenthusiast06) aren't Rosenberg, let's recap:
    1. Your story on your relation to Rosenberg is inconsistent, and your only response is just you had a sudden recollection of "an event". Seems odd.
    2. You frequently have added claims about Rosenberg to a variety of pages, which seems like odd behaviour for someone with only passing knowledge. While not telling by itself, in combination with these other factors is odd.
    3. Your source for Rosenberg's Vote16 involvement is remembering Instagram stories from his private account, which seems incredibly strange for someone who couldn't even correctly remember if you had met.
    4. A new point: Looking at the edit history of your account, you have a variety of edits focussed on the German election. Note, that Rosenberg was also recently in Germany and claimed to have been involved in that election. Did you just happen to share the exact same interest in German politics, at the same time as Rosenberg?
    5. Similarly, you have also made edits relating to youth suffrage, such as on the Age of candidacy page. That is also a topic Rosenberg claims to be interested in. Just a coincidence?
    6. Your page for Rosenberg includes a variety of information which is poorly sourced and very difficult to impossible to find online. While I do not care to check every claim you have made, there seems to be a pattern of you retroactively finding sources that back up your claims. One that did stand out to me was Rosenberg's middle name: where did you obtain that information
    I could go on, but the point is clear. DeanWithersLover (talk) 00:47, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Just a little side note: I notice that since my comment Politicsenthusiast06 has edited the page to change the middle name to simply "M" from the previous "Matthias". DeanWithersLover (talk) 07:19, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Because that's what on the elections Canada page and 2025 Candidates Wikipedia page. Just making it consistent. Politicsenthusiast06 (talk) 17:58, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Interesting how those pages only include "M" yet you knew his full middle name. Perhaps it is publicly available, but by not actually responding to any of my claims you make it seem odd that you knew that information. DeanWithersLover (talk) 18:44, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Additional Evidence of COI
    Adding to my prior point about COI, I have found near-damning evidence showing that Politicsenthusiast06 is Rosenberg. While editing the page Randene Neill (who won the nomination for Powell River-Sunshine Coast), I found edits by Politicsenthusiast06 and 2 IP accounts on November 8th, 2024. The edits by the first IP account added detail including:
    1. Calling the nomination contest "hotly contested"
    2. Adding "Jäger Rosenberg - who was the young person to ever run for office in Canadian history, still being 17 at the time of the vote"
    The second IP account fixed a citation error from the previous edit 20 minutes later. Looking at the IP addresses of the edits, the first was made by 2003:c5:bf3a:9d81:e868:2de9:27fd:93c5 and the second by 2003:c5:bf3a:9d81:b4e6:ac40:c33d:d519. Using https://ipinfo.io/, these addresses both trace to Fulda, Hesse, Germany (account 1)(account 2). This is during the time Rosenberg was in Fulda as confirmed on his facebook.
    Now linking Politicsenthusiast06 to these edits. The account Politicsenthusiast06 was created on November 8th, 2024 at the same time as the IP account edits. Nine minutes after the second IP account edit, the account Politicsenthusiast06 makes its first edit, editing the page to continue adding more detail about Neill.

    At this point, there is overwhelming evidence that Politicsenthusiast06 is Rosenberg. This article exists only for vanity purposes. DeanWithersLover (talk) 07:44, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Fails WP:ORG. I found no in-depth coverage in reliable sources after searching through Google and provincial archives (Vancouver City archives + UBC Library). The now defunct party achieved insignificant results in the one election it contested (less than one-tenth of a percent in 2013), so there is no obvious claim of notability.
    Of the 6 sources cited, 2 are primary sources, 2 are blogs, 1 is routine local coverage for the election cycle, and 1 is a routine registration list from Elections BC. I found one more article from a minor news publisher that accepts articles from the general public. A lack of reliable and in-depth coverage indicates a lack of lasting significance as well.

    Keep – Philippe Bourret placed gold at the Pan American Games and is also in reliable sources including Radio Canada and RDS. Kansas Reimer (talk) 03:00, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep - It's not great, and the state of the article is parlous, but I agree that the RDS source contains material that is secondary about the page subject (although primary regarding his return, of course). It has significant coverage, is independent and reliable. Multiple sources are needed, but on the basis of this and the weaker sources, I think it would be wrong to delete this page.
