The result was redirect to Communist Party of Canada (Marxist–Leninist). The "keep" !voters have failed to make policy-based arguments. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 09:34, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fails the notability criteria for politicians and the general notability criteria. Never elected, no sources of substance, etc. — CharlieEchoTango — 05:37, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, at 70 candidates in the last election, the party is big enough to have an article for its leader. 117Avenue (talk) 13:16, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is not what WP:POLITICIAN says. "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion (...)." — CharlieEchoTango — 16:58, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Agree with previous. Hohenloh ⁺ 15:40, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Not notable enough to make a separate article necessary. Aaaccc (talk), 3 October 2011 (UTC)
• Keep a little borderline, but qualifies by reasonable judgment as leader of a significant national party. DGG ( talk ) 03:37, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Significant how? This is a fringe party that has candidates in less than 1/4th of the ridings in Canada in which they gather a couple dozens votes (in the best cases, one or two hundreds) out of ~100,000 voters. While the party has generated some coverage in reliable sources, this individual has not. I'll be happy to withdraw if someone can come up with something that satisfies either WP:POLITICIAN or the universal fallback, WP:GNG. As far as I know both guidelines are not met, and the three keep votes cite a vague concept of inherent notability that does not rely on established guidelines. — CharlieEchoTango — 04:13, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist). The party may be notable; she is not. --MelanieN (talk) 03:07, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• My first inclination was to argue keep ... but the article makes no reference to anything she's done other than lead the party, she's already in the party's article - and the party only pulled 0.28% of the vote in the ridings they contested in 2011. Redirect to party page. Colonel Tom 03:33, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
