Deletion of Mario Ferri

Comment: You probably wasn't aware of it, but you can view a longish discussion at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Dennis_Brown/Archive_29#Unlock_request_for_Mario_Ferri_article, but this was reviewed by {{u|DGG}} (the early version only), {{u|EdJohnston}} and myself, who reviewed it before it was moved into main space, so this isn't a bad faith "recreation" and certainly wasn't a disruptive one.  As for notability, there isn't any singular event that necessarily pops but his overall work as an activist is fairly well documented (and sourced) and the totality of it seems to pass .  As for salting, the fact that he approached me as someone who participated in the previous AFD, and others were involved with assisting him, and didn't move it into mainspace until it was clear that others thought it was possibly notable, just shows salting would be overkill

Comment: Bearcat, a little decorum may be in order as the conflict of interest dis is, imho, out of order.  I've also edited articles on other politicos such as Deputy Prime Minister Sheila Copps but have yet to receive an Order of Canada medal.  Hmmm.  I did note however that you, Bearcat, yourself edited the Mario Ferri article twice as shown on these diffs http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mario_Ferri&diff=41384785&oldid=41154382 here and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mario_Ferri&diff=41384851&oldid=41384785 here, prior to Ferri declaring himself a Liberal Party candidate, after which time his bio article was deleted, which is highly curious.  If I previously thought your action might have been 'ideological' kindly forgive me, but perhaps you might explain those diffs: were they wrong in editing his article prior to his Liberal nomination, or was it wrong in having the article deleted afterwards? More importantly Mario Ferri is, again, imho, notable under  for being a community activist as clearly discussed in the article's lede, and that's established by more than 25 articles sourced from major media, specifically the Toronto Star, the Globe and Mail, National Post and the Toronto Sun. There are at least 50 photos of him leading protests, victory celebrations or other community events among the articles (specifically 26 discrete photos of him at events, plus 25 'stock' photos the papers used for political stories). There were likely more photos of him as well as many text-only news articles were pulled out from electronic databases.  Best
