Wikiepdia is not the place for article of non widely notable documents of specific political parties and the wider notability of this subject matter is not demonstrated or established by the article. Sport and politics (talk) 11:39, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per • Gene93k. As the standing maniufesto of a small political party, it has litlte significance outside (or separate from) the party. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:23, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. The policy document has non-trivial coverage in several book sources, including some that are not directly on the subject of the Green party such as International Encyclopedia of Environmental Politics and Political Parties and the European Union. There are also a few Scholar hits, mostly behind paywalls but some of them look like they may be substantial. As a widely cited document it is clearly notable and there is probably enough written about it to form a decent article. The green manifesto has had an impact on current political policies and enviromental thinking way beyond the electoral achievements of the Green Party. This document apparently represents the ancestry of that thinking and as such sets it apart from run-of-the-mill party-political policy documents. Spinning Spark 17:36, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think Spinningspark's remarks are compelling, but they make me ask: Why can't we use that source to help strengthen the Green Party of England and Wales article by merging it? It could get a paragraph, no issue, and Real progress (the one other article listed for Party Platform) could both make up a solid section on the Green Party page.
