Fails the notability criteria for politicians and the general notability criteria. Never elected, no sources of substance, etc. — CharlieEchoTango  — 05:44, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, at 69 candidates in the latest election, the party is big enough to have an article for its leader. 117Avenue (talk) 13:19, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * This is not what WP:POLITICIAN says. "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 (...)." — CharlieEchoTango  — 16:59, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not notable enough to need its own article, its only source is from the party's website. Aaaccc (talk), 5 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete fails WP:GNG. Stuartyeates (talk) 04:10, 8 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist), unless there is usable content here that isn't there already (I don't think there is), in which case merge. As leader for ten years of a politically active party, people might well be searching for her, but there really doesn't seem to be the content for a separate article.

 * Keep sufficiently significant party for the national leader to be notable as an individual.   DGG ( talk ) 03:37, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Please explain the rationale behind the party's alleged sufficient significance and how your keep vote relates to established guidelines, namely WP:POLITICIAN and WP:GNG. (more complete reply here) — CharlieEchoTango  — 04:19, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist), or to the article about Hardial Bains, her late husband who founded the party. He appears to be notable; she does not. --MelanieN (talk) 03:06, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect per PWilkinson. Colon el Tom 03:36, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
