Fails WP:GNG - no significant coverage in third-party sources. Leader of a splinter group from another tiny unregistered political party. Article was deleted once before (Articles for deletion/Bob Briton) and has been re-created. Ivar the Boneful (talk) 11:30, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Redirect After one ignores primary references, and closely aligned secondary references, I could not find anything at all to support GNG.  Not notable in their own right.  Redirect to Communist Party of Australia (1971) of which the subject was a member for 12 years, and which already ahs a paragraph about the subject.  Probable search term.

 * Delete, without prejudice against recreation of a redirect from the redlink if desired. As always, being leader of a minor fringe political party is not an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL — a person in that boat can get into Wikipedia if they can be referenced well enough to clear WP:GNG, but does not get a free exemption from having to have any real notability-supporting sources just because he exists. But the footnotes here are all directly affiliated primary sources, not notability-supporting reliable source coverage, so nothing here is getting him over GNG. He's plausible enough of a search term that a redirect probably should exist — however, if there's going to be editwarring over this, then we should delete the article and then create a redirect, rather than leaving the edit history in place behind the redirect, so that there's nothing for editwarrers to revert.

 * Redirect to Communist Party of Australia (1971) as stated above. Ideally, there would be a complete list of general secretaries in the article about the party. --Enos733 (talk) 18:17, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete a non-notable leader of a small political party.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:12, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
