The result was no consensus, default to KEEP. However, I'm being WP:BOLD and redirecting the article to Giovanni di Stefano. - Philippe 03:12, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Radical Party of Great Britain

Radical Party of Great Britain (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Party founded by Giovanni di Stefano. But since you can register as a party for a few pounds that doesn't tell us much. According to their website, they seem to have 4 officers - the founder, a relative and two others who are related. They don't seem to have any candidates (although they are open to offers) - but are proposing Shergar for prime minister [1]. Is this is notable? The media hits google gives are about the founder not the party. (Please do be considerate in any comments. Giovanni di Stefano, doesn't seem to be terribly happy with wikipedia - so stick to the issues) Docg 23:42, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

  • No candidates, nothing else notable? Delete. NonvocalScream (talk) 23:45, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Neutral I am not going to vote to delete an article I created but re nominator nor am I willing to vote to keep it. If we delete as a communitand notability changes (as it does in politics, that is the idea) would feel free to re-create. Thanks, SqueakBox 23:53, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
  • merge The guy was last political active in ireland so I doubt the english party will see much action now.Geni 23:55, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Merge? Where? With Ireland?--Docg 23:56, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
    • comment I would support a merge and redirect if di Stefano survives its own afd but if that article gets deleted and so does this it should not be redirected elsewhere. Thanks, SqueakBox 23:57, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-notable party founded by someone we shouldn't be wasting anymore time on. I'll support deletion of anything else with this guy's name on it too. EconomicsGuy (talk) 06:28, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete not notable. They are listed as a registered political party, but that doesn't prove notability. No substantial coverage in third-party reliable sources, and what coverage there is is either forums and other unreliable sources or brief mentions related to the founder. No objection to a merge or redirect. Hut 8.5 11:25, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Giovanni di Stefano. Unable to find significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability so a seperate article is not warranted but a redirect to the founder seems appropriate. Davewild (talk) 15:26, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete and/or merge/redirect to either Giovanni di Stefano or List of political parties in the United Kingdom. --Conti|✉ 17:34, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Merge and redirect to Giovanni di Stefano. This party has received at least one piece of reliable coverage [2], but its notability seems inextricably tied to its founder, and what there is to say about it can be covered in his article. the wub "?!" 18:11, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - heck, the articles asserts lack of notability.--Michael WhiteT·C 02:20, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to Giovanni di Stefano. There's already some mention of it there. Note that the article is currently semi-protected, so you have to have been autoconfirmed to perform the merge, or find someone who is to help you with it if you want to be BOLD.
