GPO Historical Society

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

was up for A7 speedy, however it asserts significance. Unfortunatly,it appears to fail WP:NOTABILITY, it was establish only a month ago. Hu12 01:50, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I had put it up for speedy deletion. It's not notable. The article also fails to cite sources. GreenJoe 01:59, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Although this historical society was established only a month ago, it is now a historically significant organization created by the Heritage Council of the Green Party of Ontario. The page will be expanded over time with party and historical society history. The source is the Official Historian.(GPOHistorian 02:08, 20 August 2007 (UTC))
 * Don't just tell us that it's "historically significant" -- show us how, by means of reliable sources (see WP:RS for what qualifies). And you seem to be the historian. Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 03:00, 20 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong delete, fails WP:RS and WP:V. User:GPOHistorian is welcome to remake the article after notability has been established. Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 03:03, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete fails to establish notabillity and doesn't cite sources. Oysterguitarist 03:20, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, seems unlikely that a subsidiary organization of a provincial political party is really notable outside the party itself. --Dhartung | Talk 03:26, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete fails notability via WP:ORG and cites no sources. -- B figura (talk) 03:51, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into Green Party of Ontario. It's perfectly reasonable as content there, but not notable enough for its own article. Bearcat 01:40, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Green Party of Ontario seems to be a very minor political party, with a mere 8 elected councillors. The party is barely notable and under 25 years old.  Its Hisotrical Society must certainly be NN.  The inclusion of a single sentence in the Green Party of Ontario article might be justified, but not an article on the Society.  If retained, it should be moved to Green Party of Ontario Historical Society to make clear its subject matter.  To me as an Englishman, GPO measn General Post Office, and I think there is a historical society for the Post Office, though I am not sure of its name.  Peterkingiron 23:03, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
