Chris Thompson (politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non notable politician who doesn’t satisfy any of the criterion from WP:NPOL. Being a mere interim president leader for a political party doesn’t confer automatic notability. Sources used in the article are mere announcements of how subject of article has been nominated as interim president. Celestina007 (talk) 22:01, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete, without prejudice against recreation if somebody can write and reference something more substantial. To be fair, he isn't interim president of the party, he's interim leader of the party — that is, he's not the person who presides over the party's internal board meetings, he's the person who would be the party's candidate for premier of the province if New Brunswick were to hold an election tomorrow. (But it won't, as it just had one a few months ago that resulted in a majority government for a different party than Thompson's.) But that said, being a party leader is not an automatic notability freebie under WP:NPOL if the person isn't also an actual MLA in the legislature — to actually warrant an article, he would have to show substantive coverage of his work in the role, not just technical verification of his selection. So just being a party leader isn't enough in and of itself — and while the "interim leader" vs. "permanent leader" distinction doesn't have any direct bearing on the notability of a party leader per se, as interim leaders can be genuinely notable, it does tend to tamp down on the depth and volume of coverage that an interim leader actually gets. So he would need to have quite a bit more media coverage than this, enabling us to write something quite a bit more substantial than just "Chris Thompson is a political party leader who exists", before he qualified for a Wikipedia article.
