Line 155:
I also agree Brady should be removed.--[[User:Consensusbuilder|Consensusbuilder]] 19:12, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
The remarks below are a copy from those that appear on hamster sandwich's page: Hammy, I appreciate your toned down rhetoric, mildly condescending as it may be. I convinced terminousbandage to sign up to oppose the Bill Brady inclusion. I appreciate your efforts in trying to improve wikipedia and agree it is very terrific. However on this matter I think it is a mistake to include Bill Brady. I think maybe because you are well intentioned and know Brady to be a good man, you are incapable of seeing why he does not deserve to be included. By virtue of his profession as a broadcaster and columnist he has a degree of name recognition within London, but that is wholly different than being notable. To achieve notableness he must be responsible for some significant work or achievement that to date he has not been responsible for. A hodge-podge of involvement, while making him a good citizen, does not qualify as notable. As AB brings up, why not Jim Chapman if Brady?
To anticipate you might say that Brady was recognized by the Order of Canada. However the Order of Canada is not synonymous with being notable, which by the way is borne out by the fact that fully only 1/10 to 1/20 of London recipients are notable (1/10 or 1/20 depending on the inclusion of Brady)
Furthermore I have questioned the import of the organizations you cite Brady being involved with as responsible for or contributing to his notableness. For example: Transplant International. I checked and found this group to have never been incorporated (let me know if you don't understand the significance of not being incorporated). The name to my mind is only a name until there is some evidence of it actually doing something and if Brady is to get credit towards notableness for this and other involvement he must have been responsible in some way for what, if anything, the group has done.
All that said, I think what you have done in soliciting other users to support your position and slanting the issue your way when you solicit their support creates a highly artificial consensus. I think a consensus should be determined by those that are independently interested in the London page. Be that as it may I ask you, if I am able to convince more WP users to support my position will you agree to drop Brady from the list? .--[[User:Consensusbuilder|Consensusbuilder]] 08:21, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
