Fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. A WP:BEFORE search on multiple search engines failed to produce any WP:RS-compliant sourcing that contained significant coverage of the subject.

This was a contested PROD. The prod tag was removed with the comment: "A Chairman for the Libertarian Party - notable". My reply to this good faith argument is that that national party chairs are not considered inherently notable per Wikipedia's notability guidelines for politicians/political figures. Significant coverage in reliable independent sources is needed to establish notability, and it is decidedly lacking here. Sal2100 (talk) 15:33, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Chairmen of minor political parties' organizing committees are not handed an automatic notability freebie just because they exist; they must be shown to pass WP:GNG on their sourceability, which hasn't happened here. Bearcat (talk) 15:44, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:NPOL and WP:SIGCOV due to lack of independent sources which address the subject "directly and in detail".4meter4 (talk) 19:46, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
