Delete article[edit]

This article is about a small party that was created for the last local election in Sweden. They did not get any seats (which is not mentioned in the article, where it still is written it is for the elwction 2014. This years elecrion is on September 9th). The party is too small and there is to little external information about it to be able to create a neutral article. I think it should be deletwd long time ago. (Last election, 1.1% and you need a lot more to get a seat. This is for the local election i Örebro) Adville (talk) 21:48, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I saw your post on User talk:Drmies and although I'm at work so don't have time to make a thorough analysis, I've taken a fast look at the article. Although some of the references are about the founder(s) and the party they left, and some are of course opinion or by the party itself, there appear to be 3 or 4 articles published by reliable sources that are about the party. In my judgement, that means it satisfies our general notability guideline; there is a specialized notability standard for political parties, but a topic can satisfy either a specialized standard for inclusion in the encyclopedia or the general one. It needs updating, yes. If I have time, I'll look for sources. But the criterion for inclusion is notability, and once notable, always notable.
I also haven't looked at the article history to see whether it has ever been proposed for deletion, a relatively simple process that can only be applied once, but with that many references, I'd advise against that anyway. Others may well disagree with me about the notability. So you could start a deletion discussion: This link should take you to the instructions. It's a bit complicated, but if you start the process, others will generally come along and finish it for you, including a bot that does Step 3 for you if necessary :-) Yngvadottir (talk) 14:08, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I have little to add to Yngvadottir's comment but this: I agree. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 17:07, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK, I think it's better now, though I couldn't find detail on how they did in the local elections. There's some recent third-party coverage. Yngvadottir (talk) 19:04, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In the link in my first post you see the results. 1014 persons votet for them. Thats why I think this is a clear delete (even if you have done a good job). That is also why we do not have an artivle on svwp. We do not create articles about every small party. They have to get into a local parlament. Compare with Sölvesborg Party, they have an article on svwp even if they got less votes (but they got seats). Adville (talk) 14:12, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the link, but it's preliminary; do you have the final result? (I'm also easily confused by the various different positions; my Swedish reading abilities aren't that great, as you can see from my user page.) You should probably nominate it for deletion via AfD. If you do, I will argue for keeping it on grounds of general notability, but I admit it isn't an obvious case, and my opinions tend to run inclusionist, so consensus may well go with your view rather than mine.

Now I saw you are an inclusionist ;-) Then I might go for it (when I have time). I tried to fins a link to the final results that also shows Örebropartiet. They did not pass the limit, and therefor you will not see them in the final results. They are among "Övriga partier" (total 2.07% they and others... so only the preleminary shows they got votes... that is how small they are). Here is a link to the final results. Adville (talk) 17:11, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That does have it; it's down at the bottom, "Röstfördelning övriga partier - kommun Örebro". So I'll add that as a reference. Thank you! (I see they beat all the others listed there.) As I said above, even if you give up partway through the process of nominating it for deletion, or mess it up, someone or some bot will almost always step up promptly to sort it out.

I am for a neutral and good encyclopedia. Een if I think the article is about a too small subject I want it to bee good if it is not deleted... so of course I try to help (and you may ask me to help find sources about other Swedish subjects too if you want) Adville (talk) 20:30, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
