Proposed Deletion?
[edit]- Ron Dart is very well-known in Canadian Academic and Nationalist circles. For one editor to accuse the Subject of a lack of notoriety based on his own personal lack of awareness is to me, inconceivably arrogant and presumptious. To delete this Subject is to impugn Canada, the Canadian Nationalist narrative, and to demonstrate that Wikipedia is American-centric to the extreme. As well, if you Google Mr. Dart you will come upon thousands of hits. Hardly an unknown personage. Could the CPC be behind this proposal for deletion? TrulyTory (talk) 22:03, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- I would agree with the above assessment. Robin Mathews, who has been called one of Canada's premier political poets, names Ron Dart as Canada's leading writer on the Red Tory tradition. The Red Tory tradition, now revived in the UK with David Cameron's election, is a Canadian phenomenon. No one in Canada has written on it more than Ron Dart. To suggest deleting him from Wikipedia seems odd given the volume, quality or influence of his work. I can only make sense of it from the point of view of his ideological opponents. I have added verifiable references where necessary. Is it now possible to have the alert removed that says there are no references?

Former head of Amnesty in the middle east, a very well known speaker on Christian Zionism, Canadian Conservatism and Tory tradition, An author of dozens of literary works etc. He may not be world renowned but he most definitely is one of the top Canadian - key word there - Canadian Political authors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.69.176.102 (talk) 21:27, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
