Non notable far-right party. Previously deleted at it's old title, I can find no reliable sources. Prod removed by author. J Milburn (talk) 17:08, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - non-notable. No news coverage either trivial or non-trivial. Groups pages suggest it only has 12 members. Ben W Bell talk 17:14, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I believe that the party is notable, due to the small spectrum of far right parties in the UK increasing it's prominence, rather than on comparison to all UK political parties, and that one so extreme as this deserves mention due to that. Not only that, but this article was kept up for a good few weeks before with spelling errors, irrelevant information that can be found elsewhere, and a huge bias - and yet now that all those have been changed, after it was deleted for "blatant advertising", it is up for deletion again, while notability was not taken as reason before. I've repaired all the issues previous creators of the page have made, as anyone who's page is being deleted should but now it's up for deletion again. I think this page should be kept.

  • Just one return on Google when searching -wikipedia, to a private blog, which is odd for a party supposedly started in 2005. More searching required before I make up my mind, since if what the article says is correct, there needs to be an article. By the way, it is not a legal requirement for a political party to be registered in the UK unlesss it intends to contest elections, so Whitstable's comment is irrelevant. Emeraude (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 18:19, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
But would a political party not registered as a party instead be a political pressure group? Which would surely make this a non-notable organisation, due to the lack of reliable sources about it? Whitstable (talk) 18:23, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No. If it calls itself a party it's a party; registration has nothing to do with it. And what makes you think that political pressure groups are non-notable, with or without sources? Emeraude (talk) 22:31, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I was referring to this particular case, it is a non-notable something - not that pressure groups are all non-notable, which is clearly not the case! Anyway, let's forget about it, not worth delaying this AFD over! Whitstable (talk) 23:26, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Trust me, the party exists. The recruiting campaign will no doubt get them reported on the news as something like "An alarming increase in racism" or "Virulent fascists roam the streets" or something similar. The party really goes public with recruiting this year, so you may hear more about it as time progresses. All of the information on the article is true, I assure you.

  • Delete per nom, with no prejudice against re-creation if they do get into the news - we'll then have some suitable reliable sources that can be quoted. Until then, though, they don't merit an article. Tevildo (talk) 18:49, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Delete they get 5 ghits 3 of which are wikipedia, completely non-notable. RMHED (talk) 20:29, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment And one of the two ghits that isn't a Wiki page is using the name as a disparaging term for the UK Labour Party. Whitstable (talk) 20:34, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Loved the website-- 12 anonymous members, no address except the e-mail kind, no events scheduled--- any asshole with a computer can voice an opinion on the internet. I just did. Mandsford (talk) 01:35, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete A7, move on.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 02:03, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
