Nationalist Liberal

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is synthesis. A Canadian senator, Luc Letellier de St-Just in 1867 gave his party affiliation as "Nationalist Liberal." In 1920 a Canadian MP, Fleming Blanchard McCurdy gave his affiliation as "Nationalist Liberal" when he ran for parliament. We do not know why either man used this description or whether McCurdy was aware that it had been used before. There was no "National Liberal Party." Letellier was leader of the Liberal Party caucus in the Senate, while McCurdy was a cabinet minister in the National Liberal and Conservative Party government. I note that National liberal and Nationalist liberalism both redirect to National liberalism. There is also a separate article for the Spanish Nationalist Liberal Party.

 * Delete. There was never a "Nationalist Liberal Party" per se — this is a label that has been used by only two politicians in Canadian history, both of whom as noted participated in established political party caucuses despite having used a distinctive label on the ballot. So there's no need for a standalone article about it — the context for its use can simply be addressed directly in their existing biographies, without needing a third article about it as a separate thing in its own right.

 * Delete as there's nothing suggest independent notability for its own article, would also need better information and sources. SwisterTwister   talk  20:25, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - absent any research on the topic, Nationalist Liberal was not a registered party, and does not seem to be noteworthy enough for its own article. Ajraddatz (talk) 00:40, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
