Poorly sourced WP:BLP about a deputy leader of a political party. I might accept that as a valid claim of notability if a substantial volume of reliable source coverage specifically about her were actually present, but the only reference here is a primary source — her biography on the political party's own website — and being the deputy leader of a political party is not a claim that entitles a person to an automatic presumption of notability under WP:POLITICIAN if the sourcing ain't up to scratch.

 * Delete. Does not meet notability guidelines. First, she is deputy leader, not leader. Second, she is a party leader in the province, not nationally. Third, it is a minor party that has never held a seat in the province, and it appears that the largest percentage of the vote they have ever received was 8%. And by far most importantly, I have thus far been unable to find any news articles, etc., that even mention her, much less that she is the subject of. Paisarepa (talk) 06:18, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, strictly speaking, your second and third points are irrelevant to the question of whether she's notable enough for an article or not — the number of seats that a political party has or hasn't held in the legislature has no bearing on whether the leader is notable enough for a Wikipedia article or not, nor does whether the party operates at the provincial/state or the federal level. Being the deputy leader rather than the top banana can enter into it, however — and you're correct that the lack of strong sourcing about her is definitely the coup de grâce.
