Poorly sourced WP:BLP of a person notable only for serving as interim leader of a fringe political party for a few months in 2014. As always, however, serving as a party leader is not an automatic notability freebie that exempts a person from having to have reliable source coverage about them in media, but there's no such coverage being shown here at all -- the only references here are three primary sources that do not count as support for notability at all, and one deadlinked news article in a community pennysaver. This is not enough coverage to make a minor party leader notable on those grounds if he never actually passed WP:NPOL by holding office in a legislature.

Delete and Redirect to Christian Heritage Party of Canada#David J. Reimer (March 2014 – November 2014) (interim). Interim leadership of a minor political party would not meet WP:NPOL in my eyes, unless someone can point to a guideline within that policy that suggests otherwise. Unlike other minor politicians in Canada (John C. Turmel being the key example, with Régent Millette being another example), Reimer also hasn't reached the ungodly (pardon the pun) number of candidacies that these two have, so wouldn't have the notability there either. Reimer has a section within the larger CHP article, and that should probably be expanded with this information. Bkissin (talk) 16:28, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Christian Heritage Party of Canada#David J. Reimer (March 2014 – November 2014) (interim). I think Bkissin's idea is the appropriate solution, although we can't both delete and redirect as far as I know. PK T(alk) 16:11, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete/Redirect per Bkissin. You can delete the current history, then create a new redirect. SportingFlyer talk 00:47, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
