 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. Further sourcing improvement is certainly still needed, but the article does not "fail to cite sources" — it has sources, and just needs more. And again, our standards for the notability of political parties do not require the party to have won seats; they merely require the party to be properly sourceable as having run candidates.

 * Keep - it has been a registered party for over a quarter of a century, and fielded dozens of candidates. As seven original election articles in Wikipedia refer to this party, readers will be looking for more information. Deleting will not improve Wikipedia.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 00:47, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sources exist and there's sufficient encyclopedic content to justify maintaining a separate article for the provincial party, rather than merging it back into Confederation of Regions Party of Canada. (Deletion would have been inappropriate in any case.) --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:59, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
