  • Delete. not notable - maybe redirect to Canadian Action Party? Whosyourjudas (talk) 23:23, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. As a general rule, I'd suggest that anyone who campaigns for federal office is eligible for an entry on Wikipedia. This page needs a cleanup; it doesn't need to be deleted. CJCurrie 23:53, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. I presume if this person had run for office on a Star Trek episode it would be fine to keep them. The Recycling Troll 04:47, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. People who stand for no-hope parties that get tiny votes (She got 76 in this year's election) aren't notable. CBC Average Earthman 10:10, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Agree with Average Earthman. --Improv 12:32, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep it - this person was on the ballot in a real election. That's notable enough. Intrigue 19:45, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Wiki is the only place you'll find this info. the world needs a place for these people.Kevintoronto 21:01, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep but more info would be nice such as what riding did she run in, how many votes did she get etc. AndyL 22:44, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, or at most merge and redirect into the article on the Canadian Action Party. Jallan 00:49, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete for reasons given for deleting other non notable losers of Canadian elections. Also a comment that a lot of the 'keeps' for these non-entities come from CJCurrie and people he's paged to get to support him. Jongarrettuk 23:11, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Mikkalai 04:56, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Loser. GWO 18:25, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • I notice a certain trend around VfD: unelected political candidates for minor parties are notable for their candidacy alone, if they're American. Ten minutes of searching gave me Beau Gunderson, Jerry Kohn, Tim Smith, Tom Bailey, AndrĂ©s Soto, Gayle McLaughlin, Nicole Sarmiento and Rick Griffin, and I'm sure countless others would show up if I kept looking. But if they're Canadian, watch the deletes come out of the woodwork. Keep as equally notable to anyone on that list, or VfD that list too. Bearcat 00:10, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep she has run in three elections, one as a Reform Party member finishing second in 1997. (I expanded the page to note this) Earl Andrew 19:41, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
