You say {tq|Simply being... the leader of a minor political party without legislative representation" is not a notability clincher. Perhaps, not but it is certainly a significant factor. The Greens are not just any other political party. While they do not have "legislative representation" in Saskatchewan they are the official opposition in PEI, are in a supply and confidence agreement with the government in British Columbia and have three elected MPs federally, one MPP in Ontario and two in New Brunswick (or did at dissolution).

I think that the minor political party argument is a bit of a red herring, considering that NPOL doesn't include any provisions for establishing notability on the basis of positions in party leadership. If additional coverage can't be found for Anwar or
