[edit] The Brown Party of Canada

I don't think there actually is such registered political party in Canada. The weblink just points to a fairly insignificant webforum or blog. Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:28, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, yes, clearly it's not a real party but rather more of an art project. I believe this is quite apparent from the statement made in the article: "The Brown Party of Canada is not a registered fringe party. Voting for The Brown Party of Canada will spoil your ballot."

It does, at the very least, exist semiotically. That must count for something, no?

I should add, that if you want to get rid of this entry you'll be required to apply the same logic to the article for the Canadian Extreme Wrestling Party, which does have an entry. In fact, there's an entry called "List of frivolous political parties," some of which are officially registered, and some of which are not (such as the aforementioned, now defunct, Wrestling Party).

• Weak Delete While Virtualian has a point, this particular article verges towards a vanity page. Cleanup required to stay around. Atrian 06:23, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

• Either delete all fictional parties, or cleanup this and keep subject to verification -- SockpuppetSamuelson 08:46, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
