"whom" is correct (I assume "whom" is the pronoun you're interested in). In informal English, "who" is, in cases such as this, widely used and widely accepted (or at least tolerated).

Right! But if one insists on "whom", I think one should also insist on "on whom".

We need one person whom we can rely on.
Am I the only one who sees something unidiomatic about the beginning of this sentence?
Idiomatic: We need a person who(m) ...
Possibly: We need only one person who(m) ...
But unidiomatic: We need one person who(m) ... Yes? No? Comments?

CalifJimBut unidiomatic: We need one person who(m) ... Yes? No? Comments?It seems OK to me. There are a lot of people involved in some activity or process. We need to be able to rely on (at least) one of them.
