Fred Schorning

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Poorly referenced WP:BLP of a person notable primarily as a former leader of a minor political party. While Wikipedia once had a rule that leaders of political parties were always "inherently" notable regardless of any sourceability problems, that's long since been deprecated -- now, a political party leader who was not personally a member of his or her party's elected legislative caucus for the purposes of passing WP:NPOL #1 is notable enough for a standalone article only if they can be shown to pass WP:GNG on their sourcing. But the only sources here are a government report which is not support for notability at all and a single brief media blurb which verifies a party merger while completely failing to mention Fred Schorning's name at all in conjunction with it, thus not fulfilling GNG.

 * Delete per very well reasoned argument of the nominator. We do not have the level of sources needed to justify an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:36, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Alberta Party. Doesn't pass WP:NPOL, and I agree that the sourcing isn't enough for a GNG pass – the best I could find was a few passing mentions on ProQuest – but a redirect seems like a reasonable alternative to deletion since Schorning is already listed in that section.
