Cornish Democrats

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Unreferenced article about a "political party" which appears to have no functionaries or officers other than its founder/sole candidate. The correspondence address on the website is a private house. Party has no elected members at any level of government, and is fielding only one candidate in the upcoming election. Would appear to be essentially a vehicle for one independent non-notable politician. DuncanHill (talk) 18:30, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete until the party gets significant mentions in the media. --Joowwww (talk) 18:56, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. I'm not seeing any coverage in reliable sources upon which any king of reliable article can be built. --Mkativerata (talk) 19:46, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: The most significant reference is on a local BBC blog, entitled 'On Minor Parties' Moswento (talk) 20:23, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: This article appears to promote an individual independent candidate rather than describe a bona fide political party. Even if it is argued that anyone who stands as a candidate in a general election (whether for a party or as an independent) meets the notability criterion the article should be completely re-written and titled Jonathan Rogers.

 * Delete No independent claim of notability, and having the financial ability to put up a deposit and creating the device of a "political party" to cover the views of one person does not make it a national, regional and barely local political entity. Noting a COI - I fall within the constituency the party is contesting (and not even commenting that the WP article via Duncan Hill's page is the first I have been made aware of them...)

 * Delete If we include this do we have every independant who stands? Not notable.Slatersteven (talk) 21:45, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - only ten days to the election and no indication that anyone takes them seriously. I have amended "has candidates running in the next election" to "has a candidate... " as the only source does not support a claim of more than one. JohnCD (talk) 09:22, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. I thought this rang a bell. It was already speedily deleted in March when at Cornish Democrats (The), I told User:Theword21LAYTON why at the time. Moswento has found what is probably the only coverage, which is not what you can hang an article on. Fences  &amp;  Windows  21:25, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
