Deprodded, without really addressing the concerns of the prod. Mayor of a small town in Quebec. Doesn't meet either WP:GNG or WP:NPOL. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:05, 4 June 2019 (UTC) reply

• Delete Being mayor of a town with a population on less than 4,000 is definitely not an WP:NPOL pass. Of the sources used, three are election results, two are local news coverage about him announcing mayoral campaigns, another is local news coverage of his winning an election, one does not even mention Coutu by name, and one is a radio interview. These hardly constitute a WP:GNG pass. Best, GPL93 ( talk) 17:34, 4 June 2019 (UTC) reply
• Delete. He has to win the federal election, not just run in it, to pass NPOL #1 — and as mayor of a small suburb of Montreal with a population of less than 4K, he would have to have nationalizing coverage, not just three or four hits in Montreal's local media, to pass NPOL #2. Obviously he'll get an article on or after October 20 if he wins the federal election and becomes an MP (I'll be nice and refrain from snarking on the prospects of a Conservative running in Montreal), but nothing here is a reason why he would already be eligible to have an article today.

• Delete the article because it is not notable itself. Being the mayor of a city is not a good reason to create an article according to WP:GNG. Forest90 ( talk) 18:51, 4 June 2019 (UTC) reply
• Delete Candidates do not meet WP:NPOL. If he wins in October we will revisit. Bkissin ( talk) 20:47, 4 June 2019 (UTC) reply
