Doesn't meet WP:ORG notability and reads like a WP:PROMO. Most of the references are primary and one of the references even implies possible fraud, which is conveniently left out of the article. Raladic (talk) 03:21, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the article's promo content or lack of relevant issues have no bearing on notability, those be resolved via copy-editing. In a five minute search I found mutli-year RS SIGCOV of the Party, some examples: LA Times profile Feb 2022, Orange County Register March 2022, San Francisco Chronicle Sept 2020, KPBS September 2020, NewsNation Jan 2023. Passes the GNG. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 22:11, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Thanks for the comment, I submit that under the WP:SIGCOV, I suppose it would meet the notability standard.

But with the article in its current form being an advert under WP:PROMO, does WP:NOT as one of the four policies on deletion per WP:BEFORE and WP:DEL-REASON not still apply as grounds for the AfD, or move into draft space? Raladic (talk) 22:58, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If an article on Coca-Cola only contained information about how good it tasted, it would be PROMO, but that would not mean it was not a valid subject for an article because the notability of Coca-Cola can be easily demonstrated via independent reliable sourcing. As is the case here, the solution to the problem is copy-editing, not deletion. Note the qualifying clause to DEL-REASON #4. "without any relevant or encyclopedic content."

Ok thanks for explaining the nuance. I hope someone will make the copy edits to make it less promotional.

I will withdraw the AfD per your explanation as speedy keep. Raladic (talk) 20:04, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
