Perhaps the solution for this page is to add information on Cuba Education Tours, which does not have an article. Removed db, since this is not clear-cut A7, as importance is asserted, and if one does expect agreement about whether it meets the criteria, then db should not be used. Does lack sources to demonstrate N, & thus suitable for a prod to provide time for getting them. I suggest that the cuba project might provide a source for some refs.

Cuba Education Tours is not what makes him notable enough for an article; having challenged Alexa McDonough for the leadership of the New Democratic Party in 2001 is what makes him notable enough for an article. No person who has ever stood as a candidate for the leadership of a properly registered political party which has contested elections can ever be regarded as insufficiently notable for a Wikipedia article — even though he didn't win, our coverage of political parties is objectively incomplete if we don't have something written about every leadership candidate. The Cuba stuff may be disputable as unsourced, but the {{fact}} tag is the appropriate response to this — but as it's not his primary point of notability, this article is not deletable on the basis of the Cuba stuff being problematic.
