Minor political party in the UK, no evidenced political notability (e.g. unexpected election wins, control of local authorities) to meet guidelines. Article overwhelmingly afoul of rules on Original Research, with only two primary sources and a very brief mention in an election article covering the wider seat they were contesting.

Keep - I favor the lowest of low bars for inclusion of political parties, their youth sections, and their leaders, regardless of size or ideology. This is the sort of material that our readers have a right to expect in a comprehensive encyclopedia. I realize IAR is not looked upon fondly in deletion discussions, but I opine in this direction nonetheless. Carrite (talk) 03:13, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Carrite, the organisation mentioned in that website (2010 British Freedom Party) is a completely different organisation to the one that is subject to this AfD, leaving the original problem that there is no non-primary, reliable sources to back the existence of the article.

Delete. While some editors might favor inclusion, that is not the usual outcome and precedent. Many minor parties, their leaders, and candidates have been deleted over the past 17years. While consensus can change, this is a pretty solid wall past experience. Bearian (talk) 14:53, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
