Democratic Party (Emilia-Romagna)[edit]

The Democratic Party is a national party only, the page on a single regional section is not relevant for an encyclopedia Maremmano (talk) 16:12, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, right! --Maremmano (talk) 17:01, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The major party of the region. We have articles about state branches of parties in the U.S., such as California Democratic Party. I see no good argument against similar articles for Italian regional party branches. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 18:18, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I would argue keep unless someone can prove the party is actually part of the main one in an organisational sense. It is the largest party in the region and has its own leadership. JT_dale^Talk~ 04:59, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is obvious that a regional branch of the party has its own organization, also the Democratic Party of Bologna has its organization, but is it encyclopedic? --Maremmano (talk) 09:11, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Maremmano is right. I would however make a difference between regional sections and local ones. --Checco (talk) 13:35, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Present in the region's legislative assembly (and its government). Own organizational structure. --PanchoS (talk) 15:11, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Maremmano is quite right when he says "It is obvious that a regional branch of the party has its own organization, also the Democratic Party of Bologna has its organization, but is it encyclopedic?" as the the subject of this article is just the regional section of the national Democratic Party, does not have an independent organization and is not a party per se. This said, I would keep the article, which is neither essential nor useless, per consistency with similar articles: CDU Baden-Württemberg, SPD North Rhine-Westphalia, Scottish Labour Party, Scottish Conservative Party, Scottish Liberal Democrats, Scottish Labour, Scottish Conservative Party, Scottish Liberal Democrats, etc., not to mention the state/provincial sections of American/Canadian parties. --Checco (talk) 13:30, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
