Autonomist candidate

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unreferenced article about a "political party" that isn't really a political party. This wasn't an organized party at all, but merely the self-conferred designation of one single candidate in one election -- so in reality, this is less an article about a political party, and more an attempt to smuggle an article about an unsuccessful election candidate past WP:NPOL by packaging it as a political party instead of a personal biography. But candidates don't get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates, and even if we were to judge this by the inclusion standards for political parties it still wouldn't clear the bar: those still require actual sources, and actual evidence of actual incorporation as a registered political party.

 * Delete article is unsourced, but most of the basic facts of the candidacy are verifiable. Unfortunately, I can't tell if this is a political party or a ballot line; the Winnipeg Free Press describes Masse as an "anti-Communist and autonomist candidate".  Either way, with only 1 person involved who was never elected, and without substantial coverage (or any coverage apart from election results) it isn't notable. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 04:56, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete The article is just a very short biography of Paul Massé, who does not meet notability standards. The relevant information regarding his election performances may be found in the articles of each election. ―NK1406 talk•contribs 17:11, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
