Positions of minor political parties in Canadian federal elections

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Pure WP:SYNTH. While these parties' platforms and positions are individually noteworthy (or may be so), there is nothing to suggest that the combined listing of several minor, disparate parties is a noteworthy subject on its own merits. While there may be articles out there to the effect of "here's what these minor parties think about the election's issues", WP:ROUTINE election coverage cannot be used to demonstrate notability, putting us back at square one. Additionally, the lack of in-line citations but external links to party websites makes me suspect the whole thing is WP:OR and should be thrown out entirely. — Kawnhr (talk) 00:23, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. There's no particular value in synthesizing different parties' platforms into an omnibus article like this. If a political party has an article, then any noteworthy and reliably sourceable platform positions they ran on should be noted there, and if a political party doesn't have an article, then documenting its platform positions is not mission-critical enough to require a cross-party overview like this as a substitute.
