Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Thompson (politician)
without prejudice against recreation if somebody can write and reference something more substantial. To be fair, he isn't interim ''president'' of the party, he's interim ''leader'' of the party — that is, he's not the person who presides over the party's internal board meetings, he's the person who would be the party's candidate for ''premier of the province'' if New Brunswick were to hold an election tomorrow. (But it won't, as it just had one a few months ago that resulted in a majority government for a different party than Thompson's.) But that said, being a party leader is not an automatic notability freebie under  if the person isn't also an actual MLA in the legislature — to actually warrant an article, he would have to show ''substantive'' coverage of his work ''in'' the role, not just technical verification of his selection. So just being a party leader isn't enough in and of itself — and while the "interim leader" vs. "permanent leader" distinction doesn't have any direct bearing on the notability of a party leader per se, as interim leaders ''can'' be genuinely notable, it does ''tend'' to tamp down on the depth and volume of coverage that an interim leader actually gets. So he would need to have quite a bit more media coverage than this, enabling us to write something quite a bit more substantial than just "Chris Thompson is a political party leader who exists", before he qualified for a Wikipedia article
