Kingdom First Party[edit]

Non-notable political party: contested one election, only two newspaper articles ever even mention it in passing, won no seats, and the only reason there is as much there as there is is because I found the electoral commission's details of party officers from 2012. Minor party coverage is important in making sense of PNG politics, but there's no point in having coverage when they're this much of a nonentity.

Merge into List of political parties in Papua New Guinea. Not notable on its own, but having candidates on the ballot I think makes them notable enough for a section within that article, maybe a subsection within a "minor parties" section. South Nashua (talk) 22:21, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- There isn't the content for it, and PNG has had tons of these never-had-any-coverage-in-reliable-sources-but-had-a-ballot-line parties in its history. Merging would make List of political parties in Papua New Guinea utterly unwieldy. The Drover's Wife (talk) 23:15, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - It's already a large list, but a sentence or two isn't going to hurt anything if the party was on the ballot. South Nashua (talk) 15:43, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Registered political party which contested an election. This is the sort of material which should be in a comprehensive encyclopedia. I'm in favor of keeping all articles about political parties, their leaders, and their youth sections on general informational purposes.
