There are very few sources and information on this local party, which never seems to have participated in any elections. Apparently the party does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The page is written in only five lines, which deal almost exclusively with Claudia Zuncheddu's personal political activity. Scia Della Cometa (talk) 21:50, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Organizations, Politics, and Italy. Shellwood (talk) 21:55, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The subject is clearly encyclopedic as we are talking about a political party which was represented in the Regional Council of Sardinia (Italy) and which has been active for more than 10 years now (virtually 2,000 Google hits for "Sardigna Libera" + Zuncheddu). The history of Sardinian nationalism and Sardinian nationalist parties is very complex, thus it is quite beneficial to have separate articles for each and every party of that kind. Moreover, every little piece of political history deserves a space in Wikipedia and, even though also established and traditional encyclopedias also have small entries, the greatness of Wikipedia is precisely having articles for little-known subjects. --Checco (talk) 16:00, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Google hits are not proof of encyclopedic relevance: it seems to me that the sources refer mainly to the leader Zuncheddu rather than to the party, while in the Sardinian regional council it was not represented independently but in a joint group with Left Ecology Freedom...--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 20:57, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, as there are only two hits on Google Books (but with the same exact sentence, so it counts as one). It does not reach the "significant coverage" required by WP:GNG. Yakme (talk) 15:52, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete because, as per requestor, the article deals almost only about Claudia Zuncheddu, not the party itself. As alternative, consider to move to Claudia Zuncheddu if she might be considered notable enough for an article in Wikipedia. P1221 (talk) 12:34, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

• Further comment. I believe that the party, having been represented in Sardinia's regional council, should be kept, but, in order not to lose the article's history, what about a merger through redirect with Red Moors? --Checco (talk) 13:54, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete Long since they received routine coverage. I expect coverage from better sources now but I am not seeing any of that here. GenuineArt (talk) 11:29, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep – obviously a minor party/movement, but there are sources backing up the party's existence.--Autospark (talk) 15:25, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per User:Checco and User:Autospark. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 17:00, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• NOTE that the simple fact that something is proven to exist does not make it pass the general notability criteria. So your arguments are not valid. Yakme (talk) 08:49, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to Left Ecology Freedom. As a separate article it doesn't pass basic criteria. --Bash7oven (talk) 12:19, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the page could be deleted, but in the case of a merger, it would be better to merge it with the Red Moors (party from which it split) rather than with Left Ecology Freedom (with whom it had only a temporary political collaboration).--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 08:40, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the article should be kept, but, in case of merger, I agree that it would be better to merge it with Red Moors. --Checco (talk) 10:01, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge with Red Moors Braganza (talk) 12:45, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
