Notability[edit]

This was a red link on the National Post page, so I added some starter text. Terence Corcoran is pretty well known in Canada, the editor of the Financial Post is a prestigious position. I'm not familiar with the specific rules of Wikipedia and not sure why this has been tagged. Feel free to delete if somehow this runs counter to the rules. I was trying to contribute a bit.

I found about 150 columns or articles in Infotrac and ProQuest NewsStand that were written or co-written by or which mention Corcoran, but none of them give much detail about him other than he is an editor for the Financial Post. I think it's probably ok to delete this article. If we had flagged revisions, my opinion might be different. Cla68 (talk) 01:57, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

This page was proposed for deletion by an editor in the past.

Use of newspaper political blog as a source[edit]

This source is a political blog from a free newspaper in Vancouver, Canada. Wikipedia does allow the use of newspaper blogs as sources. In this case, however, I'm not sure if it should be the only source used to label the political ideology of the article's subject, because of BLP rules. Other opinions welcome. Cla68 (talk) 07:03, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

In this edit, you state that Corcoran writes from a "Conservative/liberterian" viewpoint. I carefully read the opinion piece in the blog that you referenced, and it did state twice that Corcoran has a liberterian viewpoint, but does not state anywhere that he is "conservative." Am I missing something? Cla68 (talk) 07:20, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

1. 
   "...right-wing National Post columnist Terence Corcoran..." [1]
   


2. 
   "...Enthused right-wing ideologue Terrence Corcoran..." [2]
   

...and many more. His conservatism is so obvious I'm surprised you feel it needs citing at all, apart from which most libertarians are from the Right. ► RATEL ◄ 07:37, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

For an exact use of "conservative" rather than right wing, you could use "And now some conservative commentators are levelling the same charge at Harper. "Conservatism is dying in Canada," Terence Corcoran wrote in the National Post ..." [3] Maybe I'll use that one. ► RATEL ◄ 07:41, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Even better, Corcoran has had a go at defining what his sort of Conservatism stands for [4]. ► RATEL ◄ 07:50, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Just a small request: please put this sort of question on the article's talk page. My personal Talk page is not the place. ► RATEL ◄ 07:42, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Ratel, we have to be very careful when putting information like that in a BLP. You did not source your statement that he was conservative. Of the four additional sources you list above, I believe only one of them is valid. I don't think the socialist website is reliable, and the Toronto Star talks about conservatism, but doesn't say that Corcoran is conservative. The Macleans piece may be ok. If you use it I suggest attributing it and we'll take it from there. Cla68 (talk) 08:03, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

hack[edit]

Wherein do we add the fact that Terry is a hack? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.231.204.179 (talk) 09:36, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Needs updating[edit]

This is out of date. He has not been comment editor since he resigned from that position in a dispute with Postmedia management just before the last election. Derek Pyne2 (talk) 13:22, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
