Prod removed, so bringing this to AfD. Article is for a branch of UKIP and anything useful could be merged into that article. Most of this article's content is repeating content about UKIP, and not actually about UKIP Gibraltar. UKIP Gibraltar haven't, as far as I can see, participated in any elections and coverage specifically of them is minimal. See Talk:UKIP Gibraltar for more.

Delete as per OP. Notability is not inherited, and so far this particular extension of UKIP has done nothing to earn notability. — Richard BB 18:08, 1 September 2013 *(UTC)
~~Bad-faith~~ Unnecessary nomination- OP suggested "merge" on the article's talk page, which would certainly be more appropriate. Joefromrandb (talk) 18:20, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I didn't quite suggest "merge" on the article's Talk page, and there appeared not to be consensus for a merge there. I don't think there's much in the article worth merging, but I have no objection to merging what there is and re-directing if that is the conclusion of this AfD.

  - You wrote, "Wouldn't a section in the UKIP article be more sensible?". How is that "not quite suggesting merge"? Joefromrandb (talk) 23:24, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - I feel an AfD is the best way to resolve what to do with this article in a consensual manner. I'm sorry you feel I have handled the process wrongly. So far, nobody here has suggested keeping it (although I note one person on the article's Talk page did argue for that in response to the PROD). If re-direct &/or merge is the final conclusion of this process, I am happy to assist in preserving any useful content, although I can't see that more than one or two sentences in the UKIP article would be appropriate.

Redirect or merge, depending on whether any useful content exist. I see no good reason for making this a redlink. Nyttend (talk) 19:42, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to United Kingdom Independence Party of which this is a branch. Gibraltar votes in Euro-elections in a UK constituency. Until there is some prospect of the party getting seats in the Gibraltar legislature, the branch will be NN. If it gets one seat, we might redirect to the member. Alternatively, delete the content about the UK party, leaving just the statement that UKIP formed a Gibraltar branch in 2013 to contest elections in the territory.
