Comment: Strictly speaking, the question of whether the party has ever held a seat in the legislature is not in and of itself controlling on whether the leader qualifies for an article or not — some minor or fringe parties ''have'' held one or two legislative seats in their day without making all of their leaders notable, and some minor party leaders get enough |reliable source coverage to clear  ''regardless'' of whether they technically passed or failed  on the letter of the law. But this article literally depends 50 per cent on |primary sources that are not support for notability at all, and even the half that is real media still isn't all ''about James Beddome'', so the article is not well-sourced enough to make him one of the latter

Comment: while it is clear that he does not meet the categories in  that would presume/guarantee notability, I believe he nonetheless meets .  He has been the leader of the Green Party of Manitoba off and on for more than a decade, and received a lot of coverage in  both included here and not (as noted by {{u|Nfitz}}).  While some of this coverage is "courtesy" election coverage, there is a lot of it over a long period of time.  As he now works as a defence attorney there seems to also be https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/richard-boon-courts-sartor-1.4907433 more and https://www.brandonsun.com/local/Repeat-abuser-sentenced-to-nine-months-570738351.html more peripheral coverage of him in that context.  Also given the increasing fortunes of the Greens federally, in BC (where they are in a supply and confidence agreement with the governing NDP), PEI (where they are the official opposition), Ontario and New Brunswick (where they have elected MPPs/MLAs) and in Vancouver and Burnaby where they have elected City Councillors, I am not sure it is a great idea for us to go around deleting articles about their provincial leaders, where there is a reasonable case to be made that they have reached GNG status
