message: How relevent is his childhood to the article and his notability? It seems rather out of place. Rklawton 22:09, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Never mind. It's a biographical article, so a childhood section is relevant. Rklawton 14:48, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Childhood

message: Sovereignty concerns would be significant if they were expressed by a member of parliament. However, they weren't. They were expressed by a representative of a fringe group. Without this qualification, the sentence I removed regarding sovereignty was very misleading. What might be found significant with this biography is:
# Synder's military history and desertion events (as background to bigger issues)
# The U.S. code of military justice (UCMJ) as it applies to Snyder (also background)
# American foreign policy affected by Snyder's case
# Canadian due process issues affected by Snyder's case
# Canadian foreign policy affected by Snyder's case
Indeed, reorganizing the article along those lines might help make it clearer to the reader how Synder is notable (i.e., by the impact he is having). Without this, he's just another deserter who got some press. Rklawton 14:58, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So you think the CBC article that says "The NDP are asking the federal government to look into the arrest of an American military deserter in Nelson, B.C. Alex Atamanenko, who represents the riding of British Columbia Southern Interior, told CBC News Wednesday he suspects the Nelson police were responding to a request from the U.S. army in February when they put Kyle Snyder in jail." ... "Atamanenko said Snyder should not have been arrested because being absent without leave from a foreign military is not an extraditable offence and Snyder has no criminal record." doesn't amount to Alex Atamenko expressing sovereignty concerns? Because it seems very clear to me. Pete.Hurd 18:05, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That is correct. I think that expressing his thoughts as a matter of "sovereignty concerns" would be putting words in his mouth, and that would be highly inappropriate. Rklawton 18:44, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It took me a bit of time to find it again, but Atamanenko writes "As you can imagine, this case has serious implications for our Canadian sovereignty. Some questions need to be answered..." I'm not just making stuff up as I type on Mainspace pages. Pete.Hurd 05:14, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I was in the 94th at the same time that Kyle was. He was in asphalt platoon prior to the deployment. I recall him wanting to be deployed, because he was not originally going to because he was on medication. I also recall telling him that it was a bad idea and that he should stay on Rear D, because deployment sucked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.20.173.123 (talk) 04:23, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

message: My perception is that there is more to this story. If reliable sources have followed his fate, there would be an opportunity to make this article useful. Never having heard of Snyder before, the article comes across as a very damp squib.-- Quisqualis (talk) 02:08, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
