 * Tyrrell's article does not seem to show any notability. It provides biographical information which is quite routine and he has not had any notable progress as leader of the Quebec Green Party.--User19004 (talk) 01:06, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment: Per WP:POLOUTCOMES, Leaders of registered political parties at the national level are sometimes considered notable despite their party's lack of electoral success. Worth adding that this party holds 0 seats and tends to get 0-5% of the vote in provincial elections. The party is a provincial, not national, party. Probably doesn't qualify under WP:POLOUTCOMES. If he wasn't a leader he'd certainly fail per Losing candidates for office below the national level who are otherwise non-notable are generally deleted. But may still meet WP:GNG - haven't checked.

 * Keep. The party's degree of electoral success or failure is not in and of itself the controlling factor on whether they get an article or not — obviously a leader is guaranteed an article if he actually sits in the legislature as an MNA, but a leader without a seat is still notable enough for an article if he clears GNG on his sourceability, and the sources here do get him over that bar.

 * Delete leaders of minor provincial parties are not inherently notable. The rule mentioned above applies on a national not a sub-national level. There is no sign of notability here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:20, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Provincial party leaders most certainly are still kept if they're shown to clear GNG on their volume and depth and range of sourceability. Bearcat (talk) 18:54, 9 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:GNG. He isn't inherently notable but there are enough sources that meet the standards at GNG to satisfy notability.--User:Namiba 17:43, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, in agreement by the above comment by Namiba. Helper201 (talk) 22:23, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Complete fail of WP:BEFORE. And what is User:Johnpacklambert thinking? I see so many of his delete's that have no thought or logic to them. But good grief, he's the leader of the Green Party of Quebec for seven years, and a candidate for the Green Party of Canada leadership, which has seats in Parliament; how can the 2020 Green Party of Canada leadership election be notable but the candidates aren't? And then there's several good references. At some point we have to consider this editors lack of competency on AFD discussions. Nfitz (talk) 05:35, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
