Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Federalist Party (Brazil)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was delete. The nominator's argument is persuasive, particularly given the example of the Portguese Wikipedia. While Truthbringer's arguments are correct in the general, they do not address this particular instance and he has not brought forth evidence. Mackensen (talk) 17:06, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Federalist Party (Brazil)

Here's the deal: This page is one of my own translations, but it was recently deleted on the Portuguese Wikipedia, mainly because it is not yet a registered party in Brazil. It seems as though I may have translated a non-notable party's propoganda in this instance. We do delete a lot of very minor political parties on AfD. I'm bringing it here for review though instead of using db-author, in case someone digs up something to save it... But I no longer feel this is notable, despite my past effort in bringing it here.

• Keep. A party can be notable even if it is denied access for the formal electoral process. Press coverage or public opinion polls would help clarify how notable it is. --TruthbringerToronto 23:14, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I agree on the principle that a party does not need to be registered, but it has to be notable. Unfortunately I am not a Portugese linguist so I cannot determine how far short of the requisite number of signatures they were or if this is a very minor party not worthy of a page.

• Delete, nothing to assert notability (WP:ORG), Wikipedia is not a soapbox. --Coredesat talk 04:05, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
