Free Party Canada

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Rejected PROD. Badly fails WP:NCORP: the only reliably sourceable information about this party is that it is registered with Elections Canada, and there are numerous such parties registered which never gain any significant attention at all. There is no other third-party coverage whatsoever to establish that they are a notable political organization beyond simply existing. Ivanvector's squirrel (trees/nuts) 16:38, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete As I wrote in the (contested) PROD, this subject Fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG. Not all political parties get an article just because they have a leader or a candidate. Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:44, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Neutral: Hi! I created this stub page only because they have been given a colour and link for wiki, and wanted to remove the red-link from election tables. They appear to have fielded enough candidates for them to get entire columns on the Candidates of the 2021 Canadian federal election page, at least in Québec. I'm neutral, if y'all decide to keep, I was gonna translate their website to add more platform info, etc. If y'all decide to delete, you'll save me the trouble. If you's delete, then the Can poli colour should also be removed. Cheers!! FUNgus guy (talk) 21:30, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: No need to remove the colour if the article is deleted. Just remove the links. Anyway, I was the one who created the links. I figured if it was running candidates in most Quebec ridings, there must be some reliable news stories about them, making the party deserving of an article. I'd imagine they will get some coverage, but barring that, the article probably should be deleted. -- Earl Andrew - talk 06:46, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - Didn't find anything better than a series of mentions in lists of "other" candidates. WP:TOOSOON at best.  --Finngall talk  21:25, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete as it relies on a single primary source and fails WP:NORG. Waddles 🗩 🖉 21:22, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment. A search should also be conducted using French terms related to this political party, as the party appears to be based in Quebec. There may be news articles in French-Canadian media. (I performed a cursory search in French and found no sources providing significant coverage.) Mind  matrix  23:50, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
 * That's a good point, this is largely a Quebec party. One problem I'm having is that Google is confusing Parti Libre with Parti Libéral and Parti Libertarien. There are some results but they look like press releases to me, such as:    - these are all a photo of the local candidate and flowery biographical info, the sort of info you see in campaign flyers, with no real coverage other than what the Party says about itself. I don't think this helps to establish GNG notability. Ivanvector's squirrel (trees/nuts) 14:43, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
