Will of the People Party

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

A political party that received fewer than 1,000 votes and only has one major political viewpoint – on mobile phone masts. Not sure if this is going to meet WP:N or WP:POLITICIAN. The New Raymie (t • c) 23:37, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm I looked at the article for the election that this party stood in, and there is a link there to this party. Every other political party that stood in the same election and got more than 500 votes is listed on that page. It's not very well referenced, and it's borderline, but I'm going to err on the side of weak keep. -- role^player 20:51, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Weak keep - The absolute lowest of all possible bars for informational pages on political groups. Absolutely an obscure organization, nobody is doubting that, but Wikipedia has a capacity and, I argue, a duty to document such things. Carrite (talk) 01:35, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Let's be sensible. There are 200 nations in the world. Most of them have political parties and elections. In almost any country people have the right to start a party and try to get votes. If this party does something that the news media finds notable then write an article on them. Their (the media's) bar is low enough, no need to set WP's even lower.

Keep The fact that party got very few votes and was focused on one narrow topic should not exclude it being documented as a legitimate part of the Swedish election. See argument by Carrite, above. Also, WP:POLITICIAN is more aimed more at individuals not at parties, I think. --Crunch (talk) 03:50, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is already documented in the official records of the election. I don't see what benefit there is to WP having an article on them as well. They could be listed in the main article on the election, giving all the information in the article. Borock (talk) 13:02, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of political parties in Sweden#Minor parties, with a 1-2 sentence summary. It could be noted that in Swedish Wikipedia, all "really minor" minor parties have long since been merged into a list. Tomas e (talk) 16:55, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete it No one really cares. 207.81.170.99 (talk) 06:19, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge anything verifiable per Tomas. Not enough coverage for a separate article but no reason not to merge per WP:NNC. Alzarian16 (talk) 14:35, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per the others. Not worth an article on its own, but useful info. Now, who's going to go through all the other parties and nom them. Donald Duck Party is waiting! Bigger digger (talk) 19:22, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
