  • Delete I think this article should be deleted because there's little to no reference.

One link in the reference is about the party leader declaring the creation of this party and the second one is to an article about something entirely different with little mention that the party has been officially accepted by the parties registry (or whatever it is).
I think this is not enough for the party to have a page here on Wikipedia.
No floods and flames please. Be polite in your responses. Northern (talk) 12:46, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep Article has two references, one of which is to a news story which confirms that it has been authorised to compete in the next elections by the party registrar. пﮟოьεԻ 57 12:51, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep A few sources in English exist, so there are likely more in Hebrew. Considering the leader of this party is actually in power, I would err on keeping this article. Joshdboz (talk) 14:24, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per WP:HEY; I've added a reference to an article in The Jerusalem Post, which is about as notable that Israeli media outlets get. Skomorokh incite 14:46, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - Just because it's a new party doesn't mean it's automatically going to be a fringe party. matt91486 (talk) 17:54, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - It's new and small, but was non-trivially covered in Israeli media. The current sources are already enough. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 19:20, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Sources provided in the article as it currently stands establish notability. Alansohn (talk) 05:50, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
