Pierre Ducasse

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

NDP also-ran candidate. Run several times but never elected. No notability otherwise. Recommend Redirect, but not sure it this should go to a election candidate page such as New Democratic Party candidates, 2008 Canadian federal election or possibly to the New Democratic Party leadership election, 2003 in which he was also a candidate.

 * Redirect to the more recent election (where the prior election can be mentioned). Per nom. Candleabracadabra (talk) 04:24, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Ducasse has received extensive media coverage, particularly when he ran for the federal NDP leadership. CJCurrie (talk) 01:59, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Further comment: a search for "Pierre Ducasse" yields 665 discrete hits on Factiva and 950 on ProQuest. WP:POLITICIAN's third rule reads as follows: "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article"." I would submit that Ducasse has received such coverage, and I will reiterate that the article should not be deleted. CJCurrie (talk) 21:29, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep A French Google news archive search also yields some decent results, include significant coverage in influential Le Devoir, which unfortunately is broken and apparently not viewable as a cached file, either. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:04, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Is/was an influential person in the NDP. Not only was he a leadership candidate, but he was the party's Quebec lieutenant for a bit. -- Earl Andrew - talk 13:17, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:GNG. Here are a couple of Le Devoir articles. -- Trevj (talk) 11:30, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Nycole Turmel is getting rather old to run in 2015, and since Pierre Ducasse stood aside for her, he has first claim on the nomination. We have not seen the last of him. Wilfred Day (talk)  20:11, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
