Andrew Lewis (Canadian politician)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

WP:BLP, entirely unsourced once unretrievable deadlinks were deprecated, of a person notable only as the deputy leader of a minor political party and as a non-winning candidate in provincial and federal elections. These are not claims of notability that get a person over WP:NPOL — the deputy leadership might count for something if he could be sourced over WP:GNG for it, but does not confer an inclusion freebie if the sourcing for it is weak or nonexistent, and the non-winning candidacies don't contribute any enduring notability at all.

Delete - Pretty clear case of an unelected politician, thus failing the WP:POLITICIAN high bar to inclusion. Was not a provincial party leader, which I personally argue would be an exception to that. Carrite (talk) 15:54, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
