Dissident Congress (Break Away Faction)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete No evidence of general notability. This article is supposed to be about a "faction", whatever that means in this context, and a breakaway movement from what is already a very minor political party in the UK. As an unregistered obscure political movement, I can't see this page having any future on Wikipedia. YeshuaDavid •  Talk  • 21:32, 29 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Appears to be one person who has fallen out with the original small group and is disputing use of their name. If that itself is deemed noteworthy then surely it could be detailed in a section of the original article?--Utinomen (talk) 22:27, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

This Dissident Congress has indisputably existed as a legally separate entity from the Populist Party when it was registered as a business in the United Kingdom in 2005. The Populist Party only registered Dissident Congress as one of their party descriptions in 2006 after legislation changed to enable political parties to register party descriptions. The ability of a political party to legally use the name of an already registered business as a party description is best described as a flaw in the legislation. Therefore it is unjustified to say that this Dissident Congress is a breakaway faction from the Populist Party as it has never legally been part of the Populist Party to start with.

 * Wikipedia does not currently have a coherent policy on the notability of political organisations. However this entity, while it may be legally seperate from the Populist Party (which is listed at the List of political parties in the United Kingdom as a minor party, and is completely unknown to myself and most British people interested in politics), is quite obviously enough not notable, with extremely limited mention in external media.

 * Delete This political party does not have notability yet. The last part of the article proves it. MiRroar (talk) 22:18, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
