Organisation fails our ORG and GNG guidelines. Wikipedia is not a Gazetteer of political parties and should not be used to host pencil sketches of political parties just because they exist, but rather because of what they have achieved outside merely being formed to fight elections, which is where I believe this article falls down. No evidence of importance, notability, or achievement outside those expected for a political party. doktorb _words^deeds 06:05, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete/merge When they existed only in one small county, it's probably better to mention in the history of Denbighshire County Council than independently notable. Reywas92^Talk 14:20, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, a bit of a harsh nomination, the party achieved getting a number of its members elected to office, which is more than many small political parties manage. If we were to deleted all articles about political parties because they hadn't achieved anything "outside those expected for a political party" we wouldn't have many (or any) articles left! But, having been active 20 years ago, the reasons for it being created and its manifesto being no longer easily available, its relatively short lived existence, I wouldn't lose sleep if it was merged/mentioned in the Denbighshire County Council article.
