Article Cleanup

Hello,

I am conducting an article cleanup and would be cross-checking facts against the references provided and editing this article to seem encyclopedic rather than being written from a fan point of view or being more of an autobiography noting that more references point to articles created by the personality this article is written on.

Thank you, DC | Thank you (talk) 15:24, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't read like fan POV anymore, may remove the tag LegalSmeagolian (talk) 23:49, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Burn it all Down

As the head of BC Civil Liberties Association, Harsha Walia stated "Burn it all down" in response to a vice news article about catholic churches being burned down. https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3dnyk/more-churches-torched-in-canada-as-outrage-against-catholics-grows https://globalnews.ca/news/8002314/bccla-church-fire-tweet/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.138.33.183 (talk) 15:19, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Removed 'notability' template

Per guidelines, '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.' There are numerous news and academic sources cited in the article independent of the subject. JByrne404 (talk) 03:02, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
