[edit] Terra Nova Green Party

Terra Nova Green Party (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable wing of the Green Party of Canada. Delete GreenJoe 21:03, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete No references, no assertion of notability. NASCAR Fan24(radio me!) 21:08, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep per Wikipedia precedents for notability of political parties. A lack of references is not grounds for deleting an article about an established organization. --Ckatzchatspy 22:06, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
    • This isn't a candidate for speedy keep that I can see. Which precedents are you referring to?--chaser - t 23:38, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
    • This isn't a political party at all. Federal or provincial. It's simply a WING or DIVISION of the Green Party of Canada, and they have an article already. GreenJoe 04:34, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. According to the Green Party of Canada's website, there is no provincial Green Party in Newfoundland. I'm not sure who this group is, but they do not appear to be affiliated with the national Green Party, so they can't claim notability by association. Looking at this groups's website, there's no news since around 2000. I think it's a non-notable dead duck. - Eron Talk 00:52, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Comment er, how? - Eron Talk 01:21, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep They're listed as a political party of NFL/LAB on [1], a website operated by The Thomson Corporation (as the "Green Party of NFL/LAB", but links to the right website). I'd say this one squeaks by. -Royalguard11(T·R!) 04:59, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete. As confirmed in the site found in the link provided by Royalguard 'The Terra Nova Greens is the Newfoundland and Labrador chapter of the Green Party of Canada'. Nuttah68 09:29, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - pertinant information can be placed into a section of the article about the Green Party of Canada, if it can be reliably sourced and verified. /Blaxthos 17:40, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. No evidence that the subject has been involved in important events at the national or international level (as described in WP:ORG) independent of the main party. The whole article reads like a chronicle of internal friction within the party, which is not notable to the outside world. Cosmo0 20:55, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge The external links look like reliable sources. They would support a merger of the material on the controversy with the rest of the party to the party's article. And that is what I believe we should do. GRBerry 02:50, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
