Deletion of Rick Peterson (politician)

Comment: Unsuccessful candidates for the leadership of a political party are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles on that basis per se — he would have to show evidence that he was ''already'' notable enough for a Wikipedia article for some ''other'' reason ''before'' he ran for the leadership. For example, virtually all of the other candidates in that leadership race were (and/or still are) actual ''Members of Parliament'', and are notable on ''that'' basis rather than as failed leadership candidates per se. There's also only one non-|primary source here, which is not enough coverage to claim that he would pass  ''independently'' of having to pass our subject-specific inclusion standards for politicians or businesspeople
