Doesn't seem to pass WP:NPOL. Minor provincial party leader with few references. Me-123567-Me ( talk) 20:01, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

- Merge into New Democratic Party of Quebec, without prejudice against recreation should new sources on the subject emerge. I was going to suggest examining French-language media to see if there is more substantive coverage of Fortin there - and there are a few articles such as this profile on Radio-Canada ICI [1], this HuffPo article [2] and this article in Le Soleil [3] but I also see the French Wikipedia doesn't have an article of Fortin - if he's not notable enough for them it's hard to see how he'd fit the notability bar here. Sowny ( talk) 23:41, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
- Delete, without prejudice against creation of a redirect to the party afterward. There was once a time when we just routinely handed leaders of minor unrepresented political parties an automatic notability freebie for being political party leaders, regardless of their sourceability or lack thereof, but that's been deprecated for quite a while now. The test that such a leader has to pass today require much more reliable source coverage about his work in the leadership than this is showing, and just being able to offer one or two sources demonstrating the technical fact that he was selected as leader is not enough all by itself.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Redirect to New_Democratic_Party_of_Quebec#Leaders_of_the_NPD-Québec, essentially merging the rationales of Sowny and Bearcat. Not clearly notable in his own right (and there's not a whole lot to merge) but I don't see the need to delete this uncontroversial article before redirecting.

- Delete/Redirect to New Democratic Party of Quebec#Leaders of the NPD-Québec per AleatoryPonderings. The Quebec NDP received a little over .5% in the last election. He does not seem to meet WP:NPOL or WP:GNG.-- Darryl Kerrigan ( talk) 20:47, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
