[edit] Loyalist Party

Loyalist Party (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Quote from the article: The Loyalist currently has no official candidates. The party officially started in November of 2006, and is attempting to have several candidates available for the 2008 election. I was going to speedy delete it, but preferred to get some feedback, as it seems to have some hits at Google, but most are mixed with Northern Ireland's Loyalist party and nothing about this one.

  • Delete Non-notable organization: the official website says local awareness is still a goal[1]. The official message board has only 24 members. ::mikmt 19:13, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I'd suggest waiting before you delete this. I am a co-chair of this party, and we will be registering it shortly, with at least 2 to 3 states. Once this is done, we will gladly update our information to prove that we have been registered.

Delete. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and is not for advertising a non-notable political party. Only articles on subjects that are already notable should be kept. --Charlene 19:40, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
That's not how it works. You get notability and coverage in other media, then you may be able to get someone to write you an article on Wikipedia. Please review our conflict of interest guideline, our autobiographical guideline (usually applied to individuals, but you get the idea), and our standards for notability. Delete until such criterion are satisfied (and then I'll be happy to write it myself). -- nae'blis 19:44, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. This article is crystalballery and soapboxing for an unregistered wanna-be political party. Agent 86 19:49, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete As the unsigned comment above shows, this is WP:CRYSTAL; additional problems with WP:COI and WP:N - they can come back once they've reached some of these criteria! SkierRMH 20:55, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete Wilfully ignores Wikipedia's three core policies: WP:V, WP:NPOV and WP:NOR. I take a dim view of COI, spam and general self-promotion at the best of times, but using Wikipedia to try to advance the cause of what I would politely call "fringe politics" is pretty reprehensible. -- IslaySolomon | talk 22:35, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I Understand your policies and I apologize for not following them. I will delete it, since it is not a legitamate party as of yet. Once we fullfill the criteria being of being a legitamate, registered party. I will repost it. Thanks for letting me know and understanding.

How Do I delete from here????

I've just taken care of it for you (in the future, if you have a page you've written yourself that you'd like to get rid of you can tag it with {{db-author}}). Good luck with your endeavour. -- nae'blis 01:34, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
