The article has some NPOV and BLP issues but I think they can be fixed without a tag. Mr.Grantevans2 ( talk) 15:43, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
I have removed this content again: [1]. The text I removed is unduly promotional and does not present a neutral point of view; NPOV is required. If that was the only problem with the text it could be cleaned up, however in researching this I was unable to find any references at all documenting his involvement in the incident, other than the video provided in an incorrectly-formatted external link. I have concerns about the video also being unduly promotional and non-neutral, and potentially a copyright violation, and have been unable to verify any of the content in independent sources. There are a few (and I mean a few) sources which talk about the residents' battle with the city 30 years ago, but none mention John Nunziata at all (one mentions his sister Frances, in passing). I realize that the length of time that has passed since this happened means it may be harder to locate sources, but that does not relieve editors of the responsibility to provide them, and if John's involvement was truly notable, sources will be available.

He learned that the residents had not been informed that they were to be evicted, and leaked the story to the Toronto Star. He was instrumental in converting the apartments to Canada's first senior citizens' housing co-op.[1] He ran for mayor of Toronto in the 2003 election ...
