• Delete – Mr. Ritchie sounds like an extremely nice well respected individual. However, that does not translate into Notability as it is defined here at Wikipedia. No information on Google News – No references at all in the article and no real claim to notability. ShoesssS ^Talk
• Revert back to the notable Canadian politician See this version of the article. I think this is a case of vandalism that slipped through the cracks. -- JamesTeterenko (talk) 20:06, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Great Catch James. ShoesssS ^Talk 20:19, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's blind luck really. It's been a while since I have looked at my watchlist. When I looked at it today, there was an article I have edited up for deletion. So, I had to take a look. When I looked at the article, I couldn't believe that I would have ever touched an article like that without nominating it for deletion. So, I checked the history to see what I was thinking. Well, it was a very different article. -- JamesTeterenko (talk) 20:38, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It WAS a great catch. I've been trying to clean up some of the mess I've inadvertently created. Apologies to all Deconstructhis (talk) 20:41, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
