Republican Party (United Kingdom)[edit]

Lacks notability. Organisation apparently has no presence outside of its official website. Fails WP:ORG Eighteither (talk) 09:27, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2013 June 6. Snotbot t • c » 10:21, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Hard to find sources here since most plausible search terms return pages about British comment on the US Republican Party and so on. Even searching for the party's full name ("Democratic Republican Party") is filled with hits for the former US party of that name. However, the party's website says their leader is Peter Kellow and searching for '"Peter Kellow" republican' gives zero gnews hits. Further, the top news item on the party's own website is dated September 2012, which gives the impression that the party is too small to have somebody update the website on a regular basis. I'm British and read quite a lot of current affairs and I've never heard of these people; they're also not mentioned at Republicanism in the United Kingdom. Of the above, I find the total lack of mention of Peter Kellow to be the most telling and conclude that, difficulties from being swamped by the GOP aside, that this organization doesn't meet WP:GNG.

Delete. Agree with Dricherby. Bondegezou (talk) 12:20, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The party does exist and is registered with the Electoral Commission (reference number PP 1860), along with some registered emblems and descriptions, but I'm otherwise finding absolutely nothing about these guys and AFAICT, they did not field candidates in the recent election. There doesn't seem to be anything indicating notability. Grandmartin11 (talk) 15:35, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- That link doesn't work (it requires session data) but the reference number given is correct. Details can be found through the search interface at [1]. Dricherby (talk) 15:54, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Your link doesn't work either. Looks like you need to go to the main search page [2], then hit registration search to get at the search form we're talking about. Grandmartin11 (talk) 16:42, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - So, basically, you posted a link and I said, "That doesn't work. Try exactly the same link." Doh! Dricherby (talk) 16:52, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
