Items to be added

Items to be added and/or corrected: - 2004 was not Nenshi's first entry into politics. In fact, he ran for University of Calgary Student Union President in 1991 and won in a land slide. - Nenshi's performance in speech and debate is noteworthy through high school and university. He won four coveted Inter-Collegiate Business Competition (ICBC) gold medals during his years of team case competitions - only one other student at the University of Calgary has equaled this. - His degree from the University of Calgary was with distinction - During his time at Harvard's Kennedy School, we was a Kennedy Fellow - In 2005 he was named to Calgary's Top 40 under 40 list by Avenue Magazine - He was Canada’s first tenured professor in the field of nonprofit management, at Mount Royal University’s Bissett School of Business —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.48.25.60 (talk) 18:29, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a reliable source for any of this? 117Avenue (talk) 20:07, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Other than the fact I've known him for 25 years, I can provide on-line references for much of this:

First tenured professor in non-profit, UCalgary degree with distinction, Kennedy fellow, Calgary top 40, Four-time National Champion, Intercollegiate Business Competition, 1990-93; won in three different categories — Business Policy, Labour Arbitration, and Debate on his own LinkedIn profile: http://ca.linkedin.com/in/nenshi

You can also get most of this info on his Mount Royal University biography or on Avenue Magazine's web-site: http://www.mtroyal.ca/ProgramsCourses/FacultiesSchoolsCentres/Business/FacultyStaff/nnenshi.htm http://www.avenuecalgary.com/blogs/post/new-calgary-mayor-naheed-neshi-top-40-alum-always-engaged —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.73.5.203 (talk) 05:30, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1991 was not his first foray into politics, if you count the fact that he ran for (and won) Student Council treasurer when in Elementary School at Oakley Center. Don't know if that's worth posting, but if we're going back, why not go back as far as possible? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.5.67.195 (talk) 23:19, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Student Council elections are irrelevant. Let's keep it to notable accomplishments, please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.196.82.143 (talk) 08:50, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would propose removing his religion from the column on the right. I fully support mentioning his religion in the article itself, but no bio of any previous mayor lists their religion as a stat, and I suspect nor would future mayors, therefore this should not as well. Skorpiius (talk) 00:50, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

-- A proposal with Skorpiius's comment, we should take out Nenshi's mention of being a muslim, however I have seen many politician's articles on wiki, that has a info box, that mentions religion, and perhaps a signature. I'm not sure how to make this. But if you like I can eventually address this Skorpiius, if there are no objections from the masses here. (do the vote for for or against please). This being the case. I'll take the liberty to add your vote for "for" and my vote for "for" for the proposal of 'making info box, and putting Nenshi's religion in the box'. Just throwing this out there for consistancy. -Sammycat — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samsamcat (talk • contribs) 06:41, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

-- Added "Ismalli" as his religion in the bio box... as some politicians have it. Like Stephen Mandel mayor of Edmonton, mentioning he's Jewish... I mention this because someone in this history removed it, citing that such info couldn't be found... -Sammycat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samsamcat (talk • contribs) 11:28, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

-- Can you find any examples of a Christian politician that has this in their info box? I have a suspicion that Christian is the default state of a politician and therefore it is only mentioned if it deviates from this. I'm all for having the religion in the box if it becomes consistent across the board. Cjsedwards (talk) 19:14, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

remarks editing production notes additions go here

-Tried to incorporate some other editor's hard work, into some research of what Nenshi did immediately. Discovered that most of these projects, such as the proposed SE Ctrain line were being discussed during Bronconnier's time, or some of these initial projects of Nenshi's term, were planned years ago. Neverless Nenshi's work is indigeniously his ideas, and it was Nenshi who oversaw most of these projects and implimented his own projects (I'm not sure how we're going to pay for all these Solomon-Babylon-Pharol-Imperior of China like projects, but they're going through. Hopefully in the first paragraph we can use it for his public works projects like what "RouteAhead" suggests (since the SE C-train hasn't materialized, into concrete planning).It'll stay in the realm of RouteAhead. (again if you feel there this is wrong let's vote). Also. the other paragraph should be mention his actions.

-Added a section for 'events in his mayor term', just though it might bring more colourful to the article. Again if you don't want it. Then please vote.

I will be researching closely Nenshism with a neutral point of view. Thinking of putting up a section for his critics for Wikipedia balanced reporting. What do you guys think?

- Removed "Personal life" and just merged this conection to the Nenshi intro paragraph (and using this section to put in things that Nenshi has done personally. Ie (donate to the Toronto food bank after losing a bet made to Toronto's mayor). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samsamcat (talk • contribs) 06:05, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
