Non-notable state party with no references. Me-123567-Me (talk) 04:00, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to the parent Green Party of the United States, which is actually notable. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 07:39, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I added 5 references easily accessible from a google search. The party has been running candidates for well over a decade and multiple independent sources back up both its existence and cover it in some detail. Passes WP:GNG--TM 12:41, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notability present as an official state party that is relevant and worthy of a search into it. --JohnnyCashMoney (talk) 21:03, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as clearly only a state-level group for the entire part itself and their group map of it shows, thus nothing actually significant. SwisterTwister talk 06:41, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- What do you suggest it be re-directed to, SwisterTwister (talk · contribs)? Green Party of the United States (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)? Me-123567-Me (talk) 21:43, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. SwisterTwister talk 21:57, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can agree to that! Me-123567-Me (talk) 22:40, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ A related discussion in which I participated was at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wisconsin Green Party, and ended in a keep. Nor is the article at Green Party of the United States a suitable merge target, as it is a large page, and the normal organization for the state-level parties is standalone articles. Redirect without merge makes no sense as there would be no place to write about the topic. There is also the possibility of making a page of state parties, most of which would have standalone articles, and merging this state party there, but this would require a content contributor who wants to do that organization.
Meanwhile, objections of the nomination have been addressed. Unscintillating (talk) 01:06, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to Merge to the new article, List of state Green Parties in the United States. Unscintillating (talk) 01:04, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note I loved the idea Unscintillating (talk · contribs) had for a list, so I created List of state Green Parties in the United States with links to the party's Wikipedia page if they had one, or listed it with their website. If they didn't have a website I provided a citation. Only one did I have trouble finding a citation for, so if anyone wants to add it, and/or make the list more comprehensive, go nuts.

Works for me, thanks. Unscintillating (talk) 01:04, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
