Does not meet WP:POLITICIAN. Has never been elected, lead a party that has never held a seat. West Eddy (talk) 22:45, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Any past consensus to "keep all leaders of political parties" has long since been overridden by Wikipedia's core requirement that biographies of living persons need to be sourced to the hilt or get canned; there is no "somebody might improve it someday" exemption for BLPs anymore. Keep if the article is improved by close; redirect to the party if it isn't. Notability is a question of the quality of sources that are or aren't present in the article, not a question of blanket "all X are notable" proclamations — if the sources aren't there, then an article does not get to stay.

 * Comment: BLP not in force. She's dead. – Lionel (talk) 23:58, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: she is very notable as an activist board member & chair of the Surrey School Board, and as a pro-life activist, and as a pro-family proponent. The Vancouver Sun calls her a "major figure in Canadian culture wars." More than enough sources to pass WP:BASIC. Articles like this are not non-notable, just neglected. Perhaps the nominator should refresh themselves with WP:BEFORE. – Lionel (talk) 00:06, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Weak keep. Her obituary was in Vancouver Sun and Vancouver Province (paywall) blogs and apparently the National Post (Google shows it, but the link is dead). There are also a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation article, a brief bio on the Finance Department of British Columbia site, and a smattering of less reliable (i.e. partisan) sources.

 * Weak Keep - Per Clarityfiend. However, would feel more comforatble, if article was rearranged with sections, and more sources. -- MST  ☆  R   (Chat Me!) 12:43, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
