WP:BLP of a person "notable" as chair of a political party at the provincial level. This is not a role that grants a person an automatic inclusion freebie under WP:NPOL just because he exists, but the sourcing here is nowhere near adequate to get him over WP:GNG: it consists of one primary source reference to his own self-published company website, one YouTube clip of him speaking, and one glancing namecheck of his existence in an article that isn't about him. This is not enough sourcing to make a person notable for this. Bearcat (talk) 22:33, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: The position seems inherently notable enough to warrant an article on him even if the current one is lacking in sources. Here are a few different sources that might be of some use --Posted by Pikamander2 (Talk) at 04:23, 26 November 2017 (UTC):[reply]
  • Leadership speech
  • A passing mention in an article about a town hall event
  • His old website
  • A 2011 fundraising event

Passing mentions of his existence in articles about town hall events, YouTube videos and his own primary source campaign website are not notability-assisting sources, and no, the position is not "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be shown as the subject (as opposed to namechecked) of much, much more reliable source coverage (as opposed to his own website) in real media (as opposed to YouTube) than this.

• Delete - The sources provided don't provide sufficient reliable source coverage to meet general notability, and the position doesn't look like an automatic pass under WP:NPOL. A quick google search shows name checks but nothing in depth to further establish notability.PohranicniStraze (talk) 04:04, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Being the "chair" of the party appears to be a less-prominent role than the "leader" of the party, and shouldn't give a presumption of notability. I don't see enough coverage for WP:GNG to be met, the references above are not sufficient. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:06, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
