Deletion of Roger Lagassé (2nd nomination)

Comment: While we used to have a consensus that running for the leadership of a political party was a notability claim in and of itself, that was deprecated several years ago — now, a leadership candidate is notable ''only'' if they either win the leadership or have some other independent claim of notability besides that, such as preexisting notability for other endeavours and/or concurrent notability as an MP or MLA. Nothing here, however, constitutes a notability claim that would have gotten him an article for any reason other than the leadership race itself — and he's not the ''subject'' of enough of the sources to claim that he passes , either: many of them just namecheck his existence in coverage about the more notable and more prominent candidates or the overall campaign, and others are |primary sources or pieces of his own writing, which are not notability-supporting sources either — there's only ''one'' citation here that genuinely demonstrates Lagassé as the ''subject'' of reliable source coverage in his own right, and that's just not enough. There really just isn't anything here that's compelling grounds for him to have a standalone article separately from having his name mentioned in the other articles where it's relevant to mention

Comment: the article needs significant pruning but the subject has received significant third party coverage in the past and thus passes
