WP:BLP of a person "notable" only for having declared his intention to run for the leadership of a political party, but then not actually following through with it. To be fair, at the time this was first created (2006) we did accept candidacy for the leadership of a political party as a notability claim in its own right -- but that's long since been deprecated, and unsuccessful leadership candidates don't get articles anymore unless they have some other notability claim besides that (such as having already been a member of the party's legislative caucus in Parliament, which Blais never was.) So it was a good faith creation at the time, but it doesn't pass 2020-era standards of notability or sourcing anymore. Bearcat (talk) 18:13, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Article makes no claim to notability and does not pass WP:NPOL. - Tristan Surtel (talk) 20:56, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Does not meet current notability, google news leads to mostly French articles (I don't read French) there are no linked foreign language articles, implying those articles do not support notability for French Wikipedia. Jeepday (talk) 14:43, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:SNOW. In Canada, anybody can run for a party leader. Bearian (talk) 02:11, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
