Democratic Labour Party (UK)

Hardly notable. A single county council seat doth not notability make. Ironholds (talk) 17:30, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - article desperately needs proper references and expansion, but unlike some other local parties with a single councillor, there's enough to demonstrate notability. The original expulsion of the group was covered extensively (e.g.  for just the first two I found).  There's then frequent coverage, mostly from regional media, on Google News - mostly behind paywalls; unlike most local groups, few of these are solely election results.  The background to the formation of the group is treated at length in The changing role of local politics in Britain, and the party is mentioned in several more general works, such as Party politics and local government.

 * Keep per Warofdreams. Doc Quintana (talk) 18:42, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Ward makes good points. Article needs references, but getting 2% of the vote - as a minority party - is pretty good, and there are sources!. See BBC results - only a bit under UKIP. Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 21:02, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
