The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep‎. The Keep arguments are weak here but they are the consensus and I see no support for Deletion other than the proposal by the nominator. Editors are encouraged to help improve this article so it meets Wikipedia's standards for articles on political parties. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:24, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unrepresented minor political party lacking "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject" required by WP:ORGCRIT. Has has no secondary sources since creation nearly two decades ago. AusLondonder (talk) 10:33, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - The party was represented in the national government in 1991 (this is referenced in the Garga Haman Adji article). (Here it says ADD later changed name to ANDP, albeit I don't see this backed up elsewhere for now.) --Soman (talk) 23:15, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as the party has been represented in the national parliament, it is generally notable. --扱. し. 侍. (talk) 13:11, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's not right. Garga Haman Adji was a member of the party for one year while a minister during a transition from dictatorship. He was never elected to parliament. AusLondonder (talk) 14:01, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, a political party represented in national government. That should be an easy pass. --Soman (talk) 23:50, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Keep: As long as the party was once represented in the national government, it's an easy pass. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 21:27, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Can you point me to where it says that in WP:NORG? Thanks AusLondonder (talk) 15:17, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per above. Skål, 2A01:799:2E3:C500:556:815E:86C2:7DB1 (talk) 15:13, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Having representative in the national parliament means that the party has a national outlook and eligible for an entry into Wikipedia. Lokotim (talk) 17:52, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @Lokotim: No they weren't represented in parliament at any time. Please see above. AusLondonder (talk) 11:46, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Notable political party once were in Cameroon national govt. DIVINE 04:56, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
