Biography assessment rating comment[edit]

The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. Since it is already at the B-level, adding more information about his time as Premier and the 1967 Leadership race would likely help it become a GA-class article.-- Abebenjoe 03:44, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stanfield did not attend the Dalhousie Law School. I have corrected his educational information accordingly, adding a citation.Bwark (talk) 23:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

== B-Class Assessment ==

I rated this article a B-Class article because it is a good beginning with regards to information about Stanfield. What is needed to improve this article to at least a GA-Class article would be more information about his ascension to the Nova Scotia party's leadership.

As well, he was one of Nova Scotia's most successful premiers, though there isn't much information about that. Furthermore, the 1967 Federal Conservative leadership race is considered one of the classic races in post-WWII Canada, since it was one of the first, if not the first, leadership conventions to be well documented on live TV and in a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation documentary from that time called Hail and Farewell (the fall of John Diefenbaker)(1967). A very interesting man who deserves a more expanded article.Abebenjoe 03:54, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Electoral record[edit]

The record is missing his first election to Parliament on 6 November 1967, when he won the riding of Colchester-Hants. GBC (talk) 05:53, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

“English 2009” source[edit]

@Ak-eater06 please provide the text of this source you used to create the paragraph on the 1974 election. Also, please provide the full reference for this book in the article so readers can consult it. Mottezen (talk) 04:00, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
