[edit] Populist Party (UK)

This "party" never really achieved much. They have never stood in an election (or at least can't verify any claims to have done so). The evidence of any activity is limited to a blog that has not been updated for more than a year and a meetup group that is almost defunct. I voted Keep when this was last put up, but now I think that it should be ended. It looked like it could be active, but that's gone. I thought that I would add this nomination as I can't be accused of being part of "The Left". JASpencer 20:34, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Non-notable political party. Googling for it brings up Wikipedia articles in the first hits. When there finally is a non-wiki hit of this particular party (googling for "Populist Party" Britain brings up the Populist Party of America immediately after the wiki hit), it's a blog on a free blog host, which, as noted above, hasn't been updated in over a year. No media coverage to be found. Simões (^talk/_contribs) 21:49, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete we appear to be the major reference "out there". No evidence whatsoever of significance, and given that I (a Brit with an interest in politics) have never even heard of them I think that the lack of evidence is due to a genuine lack of significance. Guy 22:18, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, apparently unverifiable, apart from a blog whose last entry was made over a year ago. -- The Anome 22:28, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. No candidates in any elections, no evidence for significant membership. Not notable. Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 22:44, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
