Socialist Party of Mexico (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Unsourced, tagged as unreferenced since June 17, no assertion of notability. The author President2036 (talk · contribs) also created Union of Socialist Iberoamerican Republics which has zero Google hits and has been prod'ed. The party website is apparantly http:// socialistpartyofmexico.freewebspace.com (blacklisted by Wikipedia so I inserted a space) which makes me wonder how serious the party is. I'm not Mexican and don't know Spanish so I could miss something. There may be an old (closed?) party of the same name, and 2 or 3 parties called United/Unified/Popular Socialist Party of Mexico, so searching info is hard for me.

• Neutral until a spanish-speaker can do a search for verification. No sources as yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if was notable. VanTucky ^(talk) 23:10, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete. I did a Spanish-language search for this party and found only trivial mentions. This page gives at least a trivial mention of the fundador (founder) of the party, and this one seems to also be a trivial mention of the party's foundation. Other pages seem to confirm very little beyond the fact that the party was founded in 1981 (or 1982). Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 00:53, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I don't think it's the same party. Socialist Party of Mexico says it was founded in 2005. http:// socialistpartyofmexico.freewebspace.com (remove space in URL) says the Spanish name is Partido Socialista de Mexico (PSM). Your link mentions Partido Socialista Unificado de México (PSUM), which is Unified Socialist Party of Mexico, one of the other parties I mentioned. That article says it later became the Mexican Socialist Party (Partido Mexicano Socialista = PMS) in 1988. I'm not sure Socialist Party of Mexico is a "real" party as the word is normally understood. Maybe it's just somebody who created a website and a Wikipedia article. PrimeHunter 01:26, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. And if you think that's a lot of socialist Mexican parties then look at National Assembly of the Socialist Left. PrimeHunter 01:52, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Disambiguate it seems to me that there's no real argument that there are a number of Mexican political parties that use the term "Socialist" as a descriptor in their name. Thus I suggest disambiguation on this page. FrozenPurpleCube 02:52, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and comment: The creator of the article probably did it as a spoof, and the freewebspace site is also likely a spoof (no serious Mexican left group would create an all-English website). However, I think I have at this point been able to ref that a party called PSM exists, founded in 2001 (official documents clarify this. See for example [1]) and is led by Rafael Aguilar. Google-searching is a bit hard, as many sites confuse names of PPS, PPSM, PMS, PSUM etc. There has also been another historical PSM, founded over 100 years ago. --Soman 11:14, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Seems that party, founded in 1878, was called Partido Socialista Mexicano. ([2]) --Soman 11:19, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
