Democratic Alliance Party (Australia)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Deprodded. Original rationale: "Literally zero third-party sources, no registration, no involvement of any notable figures. Fails WP:GNG and all other notability guidelines. May come to something, but in the meantime, WP:TOOSOON". A blog is not a reliable source. Frickeg (talk) 11:30, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Previous discussions and AfDs have established a rough consensus that being registered is a minimum threshold for the notability of political parties in Australia, though it is not sufficient in isolation of coverage in independent and reliable sources. Checking both the federal and Queensland registers of political parties confirms that this organisation has not become a registered political party. Googling this organisation (which is tricky due to the similarly-named major South African party) provides no evidence that independent reliable sources exist. As such, notability is clearly not established. I note also that the article is written in a promotional tone. Nick-D (talk) 11:46, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep If this article is to be deleted then other unregiested parties including Save the Planet should be deleted as well. I note also that the party being listed under unregistered parties on the List_of_political_parties_in_Australia page has been removed. If this article is to be removed due to the unregistered status, then the whole section on the List_of_political_parties_in_Australia page should be removed. If it is believed that this page should be deleted then the rule my be enforced on all pages. Compoman (talk) 22:01, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. I have prodded Save the Planet which is similarly non-notable. As for the list of unregistered parties, the other two on there (Communists, Progressive Labour) have previously been registered, thus making them notable. Frickeg (talk) 12:23, 28 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete, I think that it's reasonable for non-registered parties to be kept if it can be demonstrated that they meet the WP:GNG otherwise... but this doesn't seem to be one of those cases. Perhaps if the party ever takes off and gets some coverage, but it's a long way off that just yet.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 12:10, 28 June 2017 (UTC).
 * Delete. No independent sources, non-notable. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 15:25, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - definitely non-notable. The website is down for me right now, and the fact that it is not registered makes me question whether this group actually exists. - Richard Cavell (talk) 15:55, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete founded in early June 2017 and not even a registered party says it all. We don't create Articles for every new unregistered party. LibStar (talk) 19:09, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Page Deleted have been in talk with the creator of the page and have come to the decision to deleted the page voluntarily. Once the party is registered and notable according to WP:GNG will attempt page again. Thanks all for contributions. Compoman (talk) 23:02, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
