[edit] Action Hobson

The fact that a political party has been unelected should not determine whether or not its Wikipedia page is deleted. To my knowledge Action Hobson is still alive and well and recent post-election newspaper interviews with its leaders have confirmed this. This page must be kept. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.195.86.36 (talk) 02:33, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, I'm afraid I disagree. The question is one of relevancy, which this organisation now lacks. FriendlySam 07:00, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Action Hobson (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

At the October 2007 Auckland City elections, this organisation was not successful at being elected in any role and is likely to wind up.—Preceding unsigned comment added by FriendlySam (talk • contribs)

This article must not be deleted as it is provides an important record of a political party which is prominent and influential in Auckland's political scene. Its proposed deletion is an attempt by political opposition to discredit Action Hobson. This article is also under investigation so it is imperative that Wikipedia keeps it active.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.195.86.36 (talk • contribs)

A small single ward only based political ticket is no longer prominent or influential if they have been completely removed from office. FriendlySam 22:54, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

If they are completely gone, then they probably should be removed. After all, they are just a one precinct based political ticket - that's hardly worthy of a Wikipedia entry to begin with. Barzini 01:06, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, a significant part of the history of Auckland local body politics. The article was reduced to a stub recently, but I've restored much of the former content.-gadfium 04:25, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, I would hardly suggest they were significant. It would be fairer to say they were involved in stopping the Eastern Transport Corridor initiative through their district, but they really weren't known for much else. FriendlySam 07:00, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, nice strong article. I've heard of Action Hobson, and I'm not particularly interested in local body politics, nor a resident of their district. Highly notable for past actions, if not for their current electoral status. --Dom 12:31, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
