Verifiable Source for released documents edit

There are links to three external documents (a human resources consulting firm report with a supplement and a Statement of Claim in a lawsuit) which are not particularly controversial in and of themselves, given that the content therein appears elsewhere in the article via VERIFIABLE sources. Verifiable sources regarding the release of the HR report should be included in the future. Contributors to this article are reminded about the fact that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_an_encyclopedia.

Article length - comments/suggestions? edit

I confess this one is getting long (I've pulled a whack of source newspaper articles and they make for interesting reading). Any suggestions about whether the section headings are ok, should it be split up, edited for greater tightness, should some of it come out? See Article length for wiki rule type things on this issue.... Would prefer to get comments here for discussion before seeing a deletion as this is a political topic and efforts will be made to avoid censorship (I guess I am a wiki-inclusionist).

January 2007 - Content needed edit

This article needs backstory from verifiable sources, particularly for the Education and early career section. Please consider contributing if you have source material which can be quoted to fill in this backstory. Thanks,

Removal of Speedy Deletion Tag edit

Gimme a chance to even type it out.

I have removed the speedy deletion tag. I appreciate the sentiment that serving as mayor does not automatically entitle someone to his or her own article. However, given the importance of the office to a community, I do not think that being a small-town mayor automatically justifies speedy deletion, either. A decision like this ought to at least go to AfD. In addition, for this particular person, she is local political figures who received press coverage given the recent events surrounding the native blockades in Caledonia, Ontario. Just because it may have been negative press doesn't change anything. Agent 86 04:20, 14 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Will you nominate for AfD or shall I? This really should be merged in with the city/province. If it's important to them, it should go in their article. Rklawton 04:42, 14 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
I'll leave it up to you. My initial reaction to this and Lorraine Bergstram was that they certainly were borderline for at least a {{prod}}, but given the recent creation and the claim (however tenuous) to some notability made me decide to simply copyedit (and remove some questionable content) and await the inevitable AfD. I may very well remain neutral on both nominations, but I'll ponder it during the process. Any comment I may have about the Marie Trainer article would be that this person has achieved some notariety as having garnered some national coverage in Canada regarding her remarks about the "Caledonia" issue, resulting in her censure by the council.
I went to the talk page of the original creator of this article and the Lorraine Bergstram article to caution him about the removal of the SD tag and to let him know that he may wish to develop these articles if he wishes for them to remain. I see you were ahead of me on the first part. Hopefully he'll take the initiative on the second part; otherwise, I will not be surprised (or all that upset) if the AfD succeeds.

Corrected the spelling of the former mayor Marie Trainer defeated as Lorraine Bergstrand. Roby0215 16:27, 9 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

The article needs backstory from verifiable sources, particularly regarding the subject's Education and Early Career. It is also missing content on the subject's recent re-election campaign and new term in office...
