"Canadian Democrat" was not a party, it was the ballot designation of a single candidate in a single election— and one who won a paltry 1.32% of the vote. There is no significant nor lasting coverage of the man nor his "party", nor even anything to say about his run: all the page can muster is that he was a law student. — Kawnhr ( talk) 19:18, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

- Delete there is no reason to have an article on a designation of one person. The person might be notable (if they were trounced that badly, not for this, but maybe something else) but this designation has no notability. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 19:50, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Essentially a biography of an unsuccessful and therefore non-notable independent candidate for political office, made over as a "political party" instead of a biography. But even our inclusion standards for political parties don't guarantee an article to every self-conferred ballot designation that one non-notable political candidate invented for himself, and still require reliable source coverage about the political party and evidence that it was a registered political party.
