The result was redirect to New Reform Party of Ontario. Consensus to redirect. Both the New Reform Party and REAL Women of Canada were suggested. I'm redirecting to the New Reform Party since Scime is currently the president of this party while her sole mention in the REAL Women section is a single sentence quote.

 * At least in theory, her past presidency of REAL Women of Canada would count for more than her presidency of a small fringe political party — but there's not a lot of genuinely substantive coverage of her in that role shown here, because after the first three footnotes (not enough to satisfy GNG by itself), her notability and sourceability turns exclusively local and/or unreliable (The Interim). And as far as I can tell no other president of REAL Women besides her actually has a standalone WP:BLP (not even Gwen Landolt, who's the only former president of REAL Women that almost anybody not directly involved in the organization might actually be able to name right off the top of their heads.) So there's not enough here to get her over WP:GNG. To be fair, this article was created in 2005, a time when our notability rules for politicians were a lot looser than they are now — being president of a political party, even a minor fringe party, was enough at the time. But consensus changed, and it isn't enough anymore. Delete, though I also wouldn't necessarily object to a redirect to the political party if there's a consensus to go that way instead.

 * Delete or Redirect to either New Reform Party of Ontario or REAL Women of Canada, I'm not sure which is better. - Found zero on News, JSTOR or Newspapers. Books had a couple of brief mentions, as did Highbeam, while Scholar had a single brief mention.  Onel 5969  TT me 18:24, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect as suggested as I found some links at Books and Highbeam, but there's not much for more of an article. SwisterTwister   talk  00:05, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
