 * Keep as meeting WP:GNG based on the sources. No indication nom did a before on any of the Green Party leaders they AFD'd. ミラP 00:26, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete sources amount to routine coverage during McGowan's losing candidacy for a legislative seat, and brief term as Party chair. But he served as party chair for only  1 year before resigning. But this is a very small political party (7%) in a small province.  No evidence that he is notable.NotButtigieg (talk) 16:24, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
 * WP:ROUTINE already was shown not to apply to people. ミラP 20:50, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Following the link you provided leads to WP:POLITICIAN, which make clear that political figures who have not held one of a number of specified offices need to have gotten "significant coverage" in the media. McGowan has NOT gotten such coverage.NotButtigieg (talk) 21:13, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, - Nahal (T) 20:45, 6 January 2020 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Following my speedy close of the DRV at Deletion review/Log/2020 January 10 I am relisting this. Note that the nominator's opinion should be discounted, as they have been banned, but subsequent good faith !votes should be assessed as normal.
 * Keep based on the prior Articles for deletion/Ken McGowan, which noted that per WP:OUTCOMES Leaders of registered political parties at the national level are sometimes considered notable despite their party's lack of electoral success. As DGG noted there, the cutoff for notability should not just be for the big parties, and that we should favor inclusionism in this area. Captain Eek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 01:03, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
