Alberta Freedom Party[edit]

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

A non-registered political party that has never contested an election. The "registration pending" claim itself is questionable as Elections Alberta maintains a list of reserved party names for future use on which Alberta Freedom does not appear. Also, GNG.

Delete. To be marginally fair, according to the article this party was formed after the most recent Alberta provincial election, and thus wouldn't even have had the opportunity to contest an election yet — so that's not the main issue here. But what is definitive is the lack of ability to properly verify that they've actually been formally registered at all. No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when registration with Elections Alberta can be properly verified, but they're not listed as a registered party as of today and "registration pending" is not enough to satisfy our notability standards for political parties.

Delete per WP:TOOSOON and for now mention on List of political parties in Alberta is enough. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 18:50, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
