Comment: per {{u|SportingFlyer}}. I'm not seeing ''any'' |reliable, independent sources, having reviewed all of the Google web and news search results and most of the book search results, which cover this subject in a |significant way so I'm not sure  is met. Of course, it's possible |offline sources exist, but we can't just say those sources are "likely" to exist. Moreover, there's nothing in this stub-class article that couldn't be easily re-created. So, similar to {{u|Bearcat}}'s rationale in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James H. Stuart|this AfD deletion discussion for James H. Stuart, this deletion should be without prejudice to someone with access to local library sources (i.e., newspaper articles on microfilm/microfiche) re-creating it and trying again

Comment: Regardless of whether they held a seat in the legislature or not, party leaders are kept if they clear  on the sources — and even if they don't, they still retain redirects to whatever title the party's list of leaders is kept at (whether that's a standalone list or the party's main article) and are never deleted outright. They ''are'' information that people are ''looking'' for — so regardless of whether it's an article or a redirect, we ''always'' keep ''something'' for a political party leader

Comment: Honestly, as an interim leader of a party in a small province, looking at the sources, I don't think he passes . I disagree with the notion provincial/state political party leaders are automatically kept - though it varies by country, many of these leaders aren't inherently notable and only get a smattering of coverage. Mr. Burke seems to prove that point well, especially because he's only interim

Comment: the nominator of this article has been banned as a sock puppet account, so user Miraclepine (an involved non-admin) closed this as a speedy keep - I considered immediately renominating the article at a fresh AfD, but noticed speedy keep as inapplicable per  #4 when substantive comments were made in good faith, which is clearly the case here, so I've gone ahead and reverted and reopened the AfD, even though I'm not an administrator either - I thought being bold in this situation would be significantly easier than DRV or another AfD. I don't think I'm wrong or else I wouldn't have done this, but I won't kick up a fuss if someone not involved closes this at this point, even as a speedy. Also, the closer should discount the nominator's statement/!vote when closing. Cheers
