WP:BLP of a person who may have a legitimate claim of notability, but isn't properly sourcing it. Being president of a political party is not an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL -- it's enough if the person can be sourced over WP:GNG for it, but does not hand him an automatic inclusion freebie in the absence of adequate sourcing. But of the four sources here, one is a primary source that cannot assist notability at all, two are dead links whose content is unverifiable, and the one that's actually retrievable is just a glancing namecheck of his existence in an article that's primarily about somebody else. And even on a deep ProQuest search, I still can't find any coverage that's substantively about him -- he gets namechecked a lot, and is sometimes the bylined author of op-ed columns, but isn't the subject of any substantive coverage that I can locate. All of which means there's just not enough sourcing to get him over GNG, and nothing in the article exempts him from having to have enough sourcing to get over GNG.
