This David Dyment is (probably) not David Dyment

edit

All indications are that the David Dyment that ran for the Ontario NDP as candidate in Ottawa East in the 1995 Ontario provincial election is not the same David Dyment (Canadian author/academic) who has a Wikipedia article.  None of the sources in the author/academic's article mention political candidacy and, other than the fact that the forward to his book was written by Bob Rae (without any mention there of Dyment having run for office), there doesn't appear to be much, in a thorough web search, indicating that they are one-in-the-same.  The only hints that they might be are that the Elections Ontario Candidates in the 1995 General Election lists (at pg. 4) that the candidate's name is "Dyment, David M" and the Carleton University (where David Dyment author/academic is said to teach) lists (at Pg. 11) in Undergraduate Program Review - Table 4 – Political Science "David M. Dyment" as instructor for Politics of North America and lists "David M. Dyment" in a 1999 Canadian Foreign Policy section on Book Reviews.  But the same middle initial still isn't enough to say conclusively that they're the same person.  — Who R you? Talk 03:34, 1 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
