WP:BLP of a person "notable" only for having declared his intention to run for the leadership of a political party, but then not actually following through with it. To be fair, at the time this was first created (2006) we did accept candidacy for the leadership of a political party as a notability claim in its own right -- but that's long since been deprecated, and unsuccessful leadership candidates don't get articles anymore unless they have some other notability claim besides that (such as having already been a member of the party's legislative caucus in Parliament, which Blais never was.) So it was a good faith creation at the time, but it doesn't pass 2020-era standards of notability or sourcing anymore. Bearcat ( talk) 18:13, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
