Person whose only substantive claim of notability is having been an unsuccessful candidate for the leadership of a political party — while there was once a time when Wikipedia accepted that as a claim of notability in its own right, our inclusion policies have evolved and such a person no longer passes WP:POLITICIAN unless a more substantive claim of notability (e.g. having actually held a notable office, etc.) can be made alongside it. While this article does cite reliable sources, further, every single one of them is dated between February 1 and 12, 1971 — February 12 being the date of the convention — thus failing to demonstrate that he ever became a topic of sustained notability outside of a single two-week period, and thereby violating WP:BLP1E. Delete or redirect to Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario leadership election, 1971; we don't need a standalone BLP here. Bearcat (talk) 20:26, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
