I note that this is the third nomination and that the last nomination failed to reach consensus, however the article is largely unsourced and has mostly only passing mentions in independent sources. Flat Out (talk) 23:36, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I can only find one secondary source (already in use in the article), which is reliable and which covers the party in depth. I've just read the arguments from previous AFDs and it seems that some participants in those thought that our notability guidelines should be relaxed when it comes to minor political parties. That argument has no basis in WP:PAG. TarnishedPath^talk 08:47, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, Dearth of reliable sources, political parties are not inherently notable. -Samoht27 (talk) 20:57, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of historical political parties in Australia#Parties without representation. Regards,--Goldsztajn (talk) 02:01, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The party is not in that list. Redirection is not an alternative to deletion in such circumstance. TarnishedPath^talk 02:48, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sigh. It is now. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 06:12, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete _{or possibly Rescope, though you could argue WP:TNT in this case}, I think that if the article has been nominated three times, but never got deleted, that speaks to me that this article doesn't meet quality guidelines. Madeline1805 (talk) 14:26, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If one time was no consensus and one time was keep - that would indicate the previous consensus in both cases was *not* to delete. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 02:31, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There were arguments from multiple editors in previous discussions which were clearly in the opposite direction of our notability guidelines. TarnishedPath^talk 03:24, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
