Alternative for Germany

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG and promo. In fact, a non-existing/just founded political party that never took part in an election. The Banner talk 21:22, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete as a crystal ball exercise. No prejudice against expeditious recreation as soon as the party is formally founded, which should be an event met with multiple instances of substantial independently published coverage. Carrite (talk) 18:10, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I will get out of the way to make way for easy consensus here, believing as I do in very liberal inclusion standards for political parties as a general principle... Carrite (talk) 02:21, 12 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. The subject is an existing movement that is going to form a political party on 11 March [edited accordingly]. Wportre (talk) 12:16, 7 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. There are large reports in German media, newspapers and television about their founding as a party, since it is widely supported by German people. Cruks (talk) 13:04, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The only relevant opinion poll is the election itself. They can be wiped out before election day. They can fail to win any seats and crumble like a cookie. Or they can win seats and become a real political party. But at this moment it is still a crystal ball. The Banner talk 23:05, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * For what it is worth: the Dutch version is nominated for deletion too. The German version (your version, Cruks??) is repeatedly removed already... The Banner talk 23:20, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Party is encyclopedic and will play a role in the next German federal election. Large news coverage on it. --Checco (talk) 14:48, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, subject has received significant coverage from multiple non-primary reliable sources, however they are all VERY recent. It maybe too soon to tell whether the group will remain notable. That being said it appears to pass WP:GNG so WP:ORG is moot, and per the primary notability guideline keep is in order.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 21:23, 8 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep. I added some information on the page highlighting the potentially enormous appeal of this movement. I think that 25% potential electoral support for a party should settle the matter as to whether it might be a relevant organization. Just my $.02.

 * Newscoverage has spread all over Europe over this new party now. Cruks (talk) 08:32, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Now there is a load of coverage and blahblah. But when they don't get seats in parlement, the whole shebang can be gone before Christmas. The Banner talk 10:06, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep Very nice and informative article. I don't see a single reason to delete it. Keep it and make it better. there are also versions in more languages. Nikosgreencookie (talk) 14:51, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Considering that this party is serious about contesting the federal elections in September I see no reason to delete the page Guyb123321 (talk) 15:22, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep I find it difficult to assume good faith regarding this article's nomination for deletion. It is important to note that this deletion nomination was made less than 30 hours after the article was created. Since that time, the article detail has increased, and the party has gained further notability. While the party is relatively new, it has received extensive coverage in various media outlets such as Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/03/11/us-germany-eurosceptics-idUSBRE92A07F20130311
