When this article was created in 2004, Wikipedia's consensus allowed for articles on candidates for the leadership of registered political parties. However, due to the change and evolution in Wikipedia's inclusion rules, that's no longer a sufficient claim of notability in and of itself, if the person does not also have a more substantive claim of notability (e.g. actually holding an elected office, etc.) alongside it. The article, further, cites only a single reliable source which is not sufficient to claim that he gets past WP:GNG. As always, I'm willing to withdraw this if a more substantive claim of notability, referenced to an improved array of sources, can be added — but in its current form it should be either deleted or redirected to Ontario Liberal Party leadership election, 1996 rather than existing as a standalone BLP.

 * Redirect or delete. I don't see sourcing that reaches WP:GNG/WP:BASIC, even in view of the one HighBeam reasult, which provides a one-senentece more or less passing reference. I am the editor who, in 2011, added the article's only existing reference.  --j⚛e deckertalk 19:41, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Redirect. Agree with nominator's assessment, a non notable failed politician. Finnegas (talk) 11:54, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Candidates for offices are rarely notable. Exactly what level of holders of party leadership office are notable is also a question, but those who just ran for such an office clearly are not.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:56, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
