No indication that this political organisation meets WP:ORGDEPTH or related criteria.

The subject here seems to be a small (one man?) political party whose launch was covered only in some smaller/regional newspapers. The subject organisation has not been the topic of any coverage whatsoever in national Irish papers (like the Irish Times or other papers of record). The organisation has fielded no candidates in any elections, and is not listed on the latest (Feb 2019) register of political parties in Ireland.

The article seems, at best, a case of WP:TOOSOON and WP:NOTNEWS. Guliolopez (talk) 21:36, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Only one semi-solid national RS reference [1] but nothing in the real main Irish media (Irish Times, Irish Independent, Sunday Business Post). No evidence this is even registered as an official Irish political party. Happy to "Draftify" for the moment and see if this develops over the next few weeks/months and we get proper WP:GNG to merit full WP article. Britishfinance (talk) 01:22, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. This basically one man and a website. Spleodrach (talk) 15:59, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Party for Animal Welfare (Ireland) should also be sent to AFD. Spleodrach (talk) 16:02, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
