[edit] Torrance Hodgson

Two issues. Firstly, as it completely lacks sources I am unable to seperate this from a hoax; Google gives 100 some results and Google News gives zero. Secondly, I don't think he's notable anyways. He's been in trouble a few times, and got in the way of a tank. Whooopeee. His magazine and movement don't seem notable enough in their own rights to make him notable by extension. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 08:31, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, original research. Don't think it's a hoax, but I don't believe it passes [[WP:BIO] - I find citations for Mr. Hodgson, but they're mostly out of his own publication, and only 35 distinct Ghits (down from 148 total). No reliable third-party stories or quotations that I saw. Tychocat 11:17, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, Definitely not a hoax. Aotearoa Indymedia has articles on all mentioned points. The protesting is interesting but perhaps not notable in its own right. However, he is a central figure and founding member of the Save Happy Valley Campaign which is currently engaged in one of New Zealand's longest land occupations. Also, the bi-monthly magazine was renowned amongst the radical left in New Zealand, despite the small size of that milieu. Fred Bo Bunkle 13:26, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete minimal Ghits include top 1000 Nicaraguans. Article claims he's a queer libertarian in breach of the police! Dlyons493 Talk 18:15, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Just because a person exists and has participated in a few events does not, in my opinion, mean he is worthy of a page in Wikipedia. Heck, I want an article on me too. KarenAnn 12:30, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
