Free Party (UK)[edit]

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

Single issue party which came and went within a very short while without any impact on British politics. Not notable organisation. Likely to be biased or single-issue editors, which compromises the article's neutrality. Has not proven notability following the party disbanding after numerous failed elections. doktorb _words^deeds 18:38, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Lacks coverage in reliable sources. Never put more than 3 candidates up for election, making it the most minor of minor parties. --Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 02:56, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As long as we're clear it's not a WP:HOAX entry, which I'm sure it isn't, it's important to keep articles as a historical reference for parties who have registered votes of any amount in any past election in any country. BlueSalix (talk) 17:25, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for the same reasons kept in 2009, and because notability is not temporary.--Arxiloxos (talk) 20:29, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Participant in national elections, so that suggests notability to me. --Lquilter (talk) 22:19, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
