Irish Democratic Party[edit]

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

Minor political pressure group who fail notability guidelines, and is not contesting the upcoming general election. This is admitted by the principal editor of the page who is involved with the group. There may be a case to recreate if the group does eventually become more substantial.Lozleader (talk) 16:46, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - with regret - until they have had some people elected.Red Hurley (talk) 14:36, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
May be notable depending on how many members they've got. I couldn't find this information. If it is a minor group, than delete but if they're growing and get their members elected, than keep. --Viticulturist99 (talk) 01:42, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I presume they have fewer than 300 members (number needed to register as a party), and they are not going to have any members elected in the short to medium term, if at all, as they are not contesting any elections.Lozleader (talk) 11:48, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Certainly looks like fewer than 300 members: "In Ireland a political party needs 300 recorded members to be considered for recognition. You can help us by agreeing to be counted as a registered member of the IDP." [1]Lozleader (talk) 11:53, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per nom. We can recreate the article when/if they become notable. --Badvibes101 (talk) 14:20, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
