Wikipedia is not a gazetteer of political parties. Recent discussions and consequent deletions for Independent Green Voice and Scottish Family Party which are active parties that are running candidates show there are recent precedents for the wider Wikipedia community agreeing that not all political parties are notable, and notability does not attach itself to political parties as a right. This article has sources, but no evidence of WP:GNG and WP:ORG and general achievement. This former political party has no evidence of achievement or notability prior to, or following, elections in its 2 years of existence 14 years ago.

Delete - as the article itself says, the party was only a minor party, and only existed for a couple of years. I do not recall this political party ever getting a single mention on the BBC news. Rollo August (talk) 19:52, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Getting mentioned on the BBC News isn't a great test of notability. Even then, the BBC wrote a whole article on them in 2005. PinkPanda272 (talk/contribs) 17:09, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Coud not find any sig cov. JBchrch (talk) 21:38, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete since the party did not gather enough popularity or coverage to establish notability, plus there is so little content that no sections have been created. --K. Peake 11:24, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep passes GNG as it is the primary subject of articles from BBC News, The Herald and industry publication The Morning Advertiser. PinkPanda272 (talk/contribs) 17:00, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I thank the nominator for using my "template" for AfD nominations, my influence is finally rubbing off! I agree that this party has not proven notability. I do accept that some coverage was made of them but ultimately their achievements are minimal to non-existent, and outside proving they exist, the coverage does not prove notable achievements. Standing for election is what I'd expect from a political party and that shouldn't be enough to host a Wikipedia article. doktorb _words^deeds 23:08, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I would agree with the above arguments that the party fails to meet notability requirements. They attracted some passing interest at the time, but nothing that would mean lasting notability and their electoral performance would certainly not be enough to justify an article.
