Delete - Misplaced Pages's guidelines for living people's biographies when discussing politicians reads "Major local political figures who receive significant press coverage" and also mentions people holding the office of MP, MPP and so on. Strelchik does not fall into either of these categories, and indeed does not even come close. He is a 19 year old "also-ran" who received less than 10% of the vote in the last election. Somebody "attending the proceedings of the Parliament of Ontario" does not constitute being noteable. pm_shef 18:44, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
KeepThis article of Mr. Strelchik is very note worthy and from the tone of the unsigend (PM_shef) above sounds very politically motivated. Mr. Strelchik is currently President of the New Democratic Party of Canada EDA, he has been nominated for three Noble Peace Prize's and he was the candidate of record for the New Democratic Party of Canada in the Thornhill riding in the recent Canadian federal election. Please keep in mind that this request to delete was from the son of a candidate that ran against Mr. Strelchik in a municipal election a number of years ago. Mr. Strelchik is more worthy of an article than PM_shef’s father, which he posted a while back.--69.156.151.238 18:53, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
- For clarification, Strelchik was not nominated for any nobel peace prizes, that is a flat out lie. The organization that he happened to be a member of was nominated, not him. Yes, I'm the son of a councillor, that has been established long ago on here and is not germane. As well, as you can see from the Wiki guidelines, being President of the NDP EDA in Thornhill does not constitute notability. Finally, again if you go to the Wiki Guidelines for Bios, Strelchik does not pass the Google Test, the 100 Year Test or the Verifiability Test. I'm talking purely wiki guidelines here, not politics. pm_shef 21:54, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
- For clarification, Strelchik was in fact part of a group of people that has been nominated for the noble peace prize. He was one of the founding directors of the organization that has been nominated. This is verifiable.--69.156.151.238 19:12, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
- He is a member (or director, it doesn't make a difference) of an organization which was nominated. He was not nominated, though I'd welcome any concrete proof you have to the contrary. And even so, being nominated for the prize still does not make one noteable - again, see wiki guidelines.pm_shef 21:52, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
As a final note before I stop commenting here, please consult wiht the Wiki Bio guidelines (link above) before voting. Do not vote on politics, vote on rules. pm_shef 21:52, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Shorten
I dont think this article should be completely deleted, but definetly shortenned, to, as I have said, 2 or 3 sentences. Strelchik isn't really an important guy--and, stop saying he has a nobel peace prize, please. Theonlyedge 22:49, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
