It was just a personal civic list like hundreds of other civic lists in Italy. I do not see a particular relevance to consider the page on the list as encyclopedic. No specific sources regarding the list on the page, whose name was not even Marchini List. Scia Della Cometa (talk) 12:17, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Italy has a strong tradition of civic lists, reminding the local political parties active in the Netherlands (see Livable Rotterdam) and other countries as well. Italy's civic lists are sometimes just electoral lists with no formal organisation, but in other cases, like this and those of the Civic Coalitions of Bologna and Padua, are actually political parties, despite being only active at the very local level. Marchini List's long-standing activity, two electoral participations and substantial electoral results make it automatically encyclopedic. Every little piece of political history deserves a space in Wikipedia. Articles like this (the nominator proposed a string of AfDs today) should be clearly improved, but not deleted. Of course, the passing of time makes difficult to find more sources and information in the web, but I will do my best to improve the article. I think it should be kept, anyway. At first glance I see proposed deletions as harmful and time-wasting exercises, but hopfully they could become opportunities for improving articles. --Checco (talk) 19:48, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The "Marchini list" is a personal civic list like so many others, following your reasoning we could create thousands of pages of civic lists that run to the municipal ections. This would create a short circuit. You know very well that the page cannot be improved. Your assessment of keeping this page is not about the relevance of the page itself, but a position based on the principle that everything can stay on wikipedia. But is not so.--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 21:07, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
