Scottish Progressives

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article restored after previous WP:PROD. The Prod grounds were "Electoral Commission gives evidence that the party exists - albeit on a small scale - but no evidence is provided or found that the party has attained any notability." and that remains the basis for bringing it to AfD. (Please note: the subject of this article is neither the old Progressives formerly active in Scottish local government, nor the new centre-right party proposed by one contender in the recent Scottish Conservative Party leadership election.)

~~Delete~~ - sorry, this AFD is my fault! The article had actually been deleted following the prod period, but I saw the redlink and queried the closing Admin, asking for a copy of the text. Instead, the Admin (very kindly) restored the entire article. When I saw that it was about the insignificant modern organisation I realised that it was ripe for deletion. I had thought that it was about the old local govt grouping. --Mais oui! (talk) 15:19, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Amended suggestion: Redirect to Progressives (Scotland), as "Scottish Progressives" was a term applied to them. --Mais oui! (talk) 17:45, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural Delete, possibly as speedy. This is really an article that has been deleted through a prod whose deletion hasn't been contested. It has simply been restored through an admin misinterpreting a request as contesting a prod. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 16:57, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
