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 soft delete. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. Should Scottish Community Alliance be created down the line and someone wants the text to merge for attribution, happy to provide. Star Mississippi 01:28, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lacks significant coverage in reliable sources, thus isn't sufficiently notable for inclusion. Stub article since its creation in 2008, hasn't been significantly improved since. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:06, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Organizations, Politics, and Scotland. Shellwood (talk) 14:52, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Per nom. Also reads like an advertisement ("alliance," "campaign for a strong and independent community sector," "key areas for action," etc.) Bsoyka (talk) 15:08, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Question. There is a tag that says A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. Maybe, but that isn't at all obvious to me on reading the history. If the editor who put the tag is reading this, could you explain it? (My feeling that Delete is probably the right choice, for the reasons given, especially by Bsoyka, but I won't vote for the moment.)
• Sorry. Please IGNORE my comment immediately before this one: I appear to have attached it to the wrong article. Also note that I forgot to sign it. Athel cb (talk) 19:52, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Athel cb: I don't think anyone would object if you simply deleted a comment you left in error. If you want to strike your comment but still leave it visible, you can put <s> at the beginning of your comment and </s> at the end. That is the HTML code for strikethough; you can see that I did it for your original (unsigned) comment. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:02, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect and improve. Several years ago LPL cemented itself into what became formally constituted as the Scottish Community Alliance. See for example this letter to a government committee. I don't want to waste time creating a new article just for it to fall foul of the same issues but if there is some support for this I could have a go this weekend. (Please ping me with any reply - v. busy irl at present.) Ben MacDui 09:13, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
