[edit] Equal Parenting Alliance

Equal Parenting Alliance (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Non-notable political party. Has 100 members and in the three elections it has contested has only managed a grand total of 232 votes. The article been speedily deleted before but I am bringing it to AFD this time as one of the elections was national not local (Scottish Parliament) but even so the candidate only convinced 124 of the 33,785 people who voted in that constituency. nancy (talk) 08:15, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - Does not satisfy WP:ORG. asenine say what? 08:58, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per Asenine as it makes no reference to independent sources per WP:ORG Olaf Davis | Talk 10:25, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep although I do not have a subscription and cannot read the articles, I believe these sources (Liverpool Echo) and (Birmingham Post) meet the significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject standard of notability. The articles also make the party verifiable, Wikipedia's key content standard. Regards, EJF (talk) 10:43, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per EJF. Matt Deres (talk) 13:40, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep The article refers to the UK electoral commission registration record, this I believe is independent and verifiable proof the party exists as the article states. I do not accept that the number of votes is a relevant fact and certainly it does not necessarily reflect notability. For many small parties, the point in existence is the campaign and publicity attached - nobody ever expects a small party to get elected. Perhaps a parties aims can be met by persuading people to vote for one of the other candidates? (NB New user, not sure if this is correct way to debate this issue).
