Does not meet the criteria for WP:POLITICIAN. While his political party has some coverage, there is no coverage of Ashmore himself. West Eddy (talk) 10:43, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Leader of a provincial political party in Canada has been previously established as sufficient notability. —GrantNeufeld (talk) 20:42, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Since folks are identifying “Possible conflict of interest”, I, too, am an EverGreen supporter (and have made no effort to hide my various political affiliations :-) —GrantNeufeld (talk) 06:07, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That discussion of Bill Hewitt is about party Presidents, not party Leaders, so has no bearing on this discussion. President and Leader are two very different roles — A party leader is the public head of a party and typically guides the policy direction, where a party president is the administrative head of a party and typically guides the operations of the party organization. Being president of a political party is not a basis for notability as it is usually not a very public role, if at all. The leader of a party is a very public role and inherently garners some notability. —GrantNeufeld (talk) 02:06, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. I withdraw my recommendation and am now neutral. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:13, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, I believe there is enough coverage. He isn't the leader of the smallest party, which only fielded one candidate, the Evergreen Party was even mentioned in a couple of polls, and ran a candidate for Senate. 117Avenue (talk) 03:33, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
