The result was delete. Setting aside the blocked sockpuppet nominator and a keep comment that was repeat-posted to many similar nominations that the sockpuppet made, the basic dispute here is whether the sources about her campaigns and interim provincial party leadership constitute significant coverage of her personally, or just routine coverage of minor political events. Having reviewed the sources given in the article and this discussion, I find the claim of significant coverage to be not at all convincing. Since there is no presumption of notability for this type of politician and no other apparent source of notability for her, I'm closing this one as Delete. RL0919 (talk) 11:41, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep as meeting WP:GNG based on the sources. No indication nom did a before on any of the Green Party leaders they AFD'd. ミラP 00:30, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - Enough sources available to pass WP:GNG. Achaea (talk) 17:52, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete even if party provincial leaders were default notable, interim leaders are not. The sourcing is not above what we would find about all party leaders, but they are not default notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:55, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Ran twice as a minor party candidate for a legislative seat on a small island; lost twice. Briefly served as interim provincial party head.  Got a little routine coverage in the press.NotButtigieg (talk) 17:12, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
 * WP:ROUTINE already was shown not to apply to people. ミラP 20:52, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Following the link you provided leads to WP:POLITICIAN, which make clear that political figures who have not held one of a number of specified offices need to have gotten "significant coverage" in the media. Lanthier has not gotten such coverage.NotButtigieg (talk) 21:09, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment As a community, we've moved away from keeping state and provincial party leaders WP:POLOUTCOMES (see the AfD for Tom Morressey, who was chair of the Arizona Republican Party and related discussion on the Common Outcomes talk page). --Enos733 (talk) 05:37, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Politician not elected to public office and, based on WP:POLOUTCOMES, interim leaders are not inherently notable. Most listed sources are bare-bones, what you'd expect of any political candidate. TheAnayalator (talk) 23:06, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   12:07, 7 January 2020 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Following my speedy close of the DRV at Deletion review/Log/2020 January 10 I am relisting this. Note that the nominator's opinion should be discounted, as they have been banned, but subsequent good faith !votes should be assessed as normal.

 * Weak keep There are some reliable sources that cover her significantly, just the majority of it is from the CBC. and one profile from the province's paper. Missvain (talk) 07:11, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Per above. Ambrosiawater (talk) 20:43, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Having looked at the articles linked by Missvain, I respectfully disagree. They are all, including the one described by  Missvain as a "profile from the province's paper" routine coverage of her candidacy in an election for the party leadership post of a small party in a very small province.  This is routine coverage of a failed candidacy; it does not amount to notability by the standards set forth for gauging notability of politicians.NotButtigieg (talk) 00:04, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
