Keep as meeting
WP:GNG based on the sources. No indication nom did a before on any of the Green Party leaders they AFD'd.

Either keep or redirect to
Green Party of Nova Scotia. It's true that political party leaders are not handed an automatic free presumption of notability just because they exist — however, they must always still have either a biographical article or a redirect to the party's list of leaders. So they are kept if they clear GNG on the sourcing, and are redirected to the party's article if they don't, and may never just be deleted outright.

Delete no coverage supporting notability of this leader of a provincial political party (in a very small province).

Comment As a community, we've moved away from keeping state and provincial party leaders

Tom Morressey, who was chair of the Arizona Republican Party and related discussion on the Common Outcomes talk page). --

It's true that we don't hand political party leaders an "inherent notability" freebie anymore if they aren't shown to pass GNG on the sourcing — but a party leader is still kept if he does clear GNG on the sourcing, and must be retained as a redirect to wherever we keep the list of the party leaders otherwise.

Delete. Provincial leaders of small political parties in small provinces are not notable by default. If he was an MLA, it would have been an entirely different story. Also, per Enos733, Wikipedia has been moving away from keeping provincial leaders or state chairs of political parties.

Delete per
WP:OUTCOMES and
WP:CCC. For at least the past 7 or 8 years, we've been moving away from automatic notability for minor parties in small jurisdictions.
