The result was   delete. While Monty Python witticisms are not really valid arguments for deletion per se, brothers and sisters, their underlying point is well taken: for all we know, this could have been a committee consisting of one person. Not the faintest hint of notability, in other words, and the "keep" opinions do not address this. The slightly ridiculous name does not help either in establishing that this was a serious organisation (judged by the standards of such organisations, of course).

Being Portuguese, I was curious about this article. However, I was unable to confirm notability for this organization Ecoleetage (talk) 01:43, 5 June 2008 (UTC) Comment The previous AfD ended in no consensus, and I hate to say the Delete arguments in the last round were somewhat stronger than the Keep arguments. It is hard to verify notability in either English or Portuguese. I wish more people would chime in here. Thanks! :) Ecoleetage (talk) 01:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, as per arguments in previous afd. There are many issues to be resolved here, but deletion would not be beneficial. --Soman (talk) 04:33, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - discussion in the last deletion debate showed that the information is verifiable, and that there should be more to say about the group, although unfortunately it's not yet in the article, probably because there are a lack of references on the web. I suspect that someone with access to the Portuguese press of the time could add much more.  Notability standards for political parties are rather a grey area at present; if an upcoming proposal for this is accepted, it will be easier to get consistency on this.

 * Delete. No evidence of notability per WP:N. Barely passes WP:V, if at all. Nsk92 (talk) 15:35, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
