Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Prime Ministers of Canada with facial hair
This is a list of trivia, not telling us anything important or valuable about the prime ministers. This is not a thing |reliable sources analyze all that much in Canadian politics or history — the sources being cited here for whether a prime minister had facial hair or not are just the photographs on their parliamentarian profiles on the House of Commons website, not reliable source analysis ''about'' whether having a beard did or didn't have an impact on their political careers. Canada does not automatically need an exact equivalent to every single article the United States happens to have — the encyclopedic value of the US list is questionable too, but at the very least there's actually some evidence of reliable source ''analysis'' there that isn't present here. So they each need to be considered on their own merits or lack thereof, not yoked together in a game of . Of the new sources Largoplazo offered above, ''Maclean's'' is just a fluffball "which one had the best facial hair?" listicle, while the ''National Post'' is just a list of ''all'' the possible firsts that ''any'' result in the 2015 election would have produced, including age records (which happened), number of consecutive election wins (which didn't), first son of a former PM to become PM (which happened) and first NDP government at the federal level (which didn't) — and the latter contains just one blurb about Tom Mulcair's beard which includes ''no'' analysis of why a guy with a beard winning the election would be a ''significant'' achievement and not just an answer to a question in the eventual 2010s Nostalgia edition of Trivial Pursuit in the alternate universe where Mulcair had won — and because he ''didn't'' become Prime Minister in ''this'' universe, that source doesn't aid the notability of this list at all. The only source that's actually adding any ''substantive'' analysis of beards in politics is the ''Tyee'' link — but even that was written by an undergraduate political science ''student'', not a professional political science ''academic''. So those sources simply aren't enough to make this noteworthy
