WP:NRV. No citations provided from reliable sources, and I was unable to verify that any exists. Lots of WP:PRIMARY. Timeraner (talk) 05:57, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This should will also be updated with the heavy coverage about the party in this book about Marshal Ledbetter http://www.amazon.com/Making-Sense-Marshall-Ledbetter-Political/dp/0813060168. I will do it at some point, I hope this article is still there to do it. The article from the NY Times about Charlie Ward as a reference documenting he was Student Body President, and he was under the MOnarchy Party. The Journal for Higher Education article is not minor, I have a copy of it, and is printed by the London times. If needed I can scan the darn thing in. Paper references still work in this digital age. Most of these events happened before there was good documentation on the net for things. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.237.120.89 (talk) 01:57, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I just don't see the coverage. Almost everything is college newspaper coverage, which doesn't count toward meeting GNG. —Мандичка^YO 😜 06:22, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's 2 references to the Washington Post, one to the New York Times, and one to The Journal of Higher Education. If they're genuine and substantial, that would be sufficient coverage. Colapeninsula (talk) 10:10, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Links to coverage of the U of Maryland's 1980s "Monarchist Party" campaigns include NYT [1], a syndicated version of the NYT story [2][3], WaPo [4][5]. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:26, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I put forward that the Florida Flambeau is not a student newspaper in the way other campus papers are. In Florida the papers were kicked off campus in the 1960's-70's due to some liability ruling, and were bought up by major publishers. It is neither owned or run by FSU, nor is it student run. The Flambeau is a Gannett publication (USA Today) and is a branch of the Tallahasse Democrat. It's staff is paid, and is not student, but does focus it coverage on the FSU campus and student topics. It is a real paper, not a student paper as on most campuses. Those references should be considered.

Keep - thanks to Arxiloxos. Timeraner (talk) 18:45, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (Because it covers an unique alternative form of student government based on royalty that for the most part worked. Granted it is a SGA and not an important national political party but the rare example of a reactionary form of governance evolving is in itself interesting and noteworthy if looking at political parties that are deliberately created to go against the establishment [i.e. the Pirate Party UK]) Septagram (talk) 21:05, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - A cute story, thousands of universities have thousands of colorful stories and histories like this, but it is sourced only to student newspapers and myspace. The claim in the lead of "received media attention in The Washington Post and The Times of London" seems to be a creative stretching of the truth. The Washington Post story about Charlie Ward's vice-presidency of the student body does not mention the "Party", while the Times of London is wholly absent. The U. Maryland "chapter" gets a brief WP:MANBITESDOG write-up in the NY Times, but that is not enough to support a Wikipedia article. Tarc (talk) 12:49, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
