Hamilton County Democratic Party

Non-notable county political organization per WP:ORG rogerd 06:37, 11 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Just delete the damn article. You people obviously have nothing better to do. It's no wonder people vandalize this site. User:Kaclock


 * Delete per nom. I don't see any outside references that would establish notability.  Mwelch 07:24, 11 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. I am the author of this article. I fail to see how an article on a major political party is not notable. Any newspaper in Central Indiana or TV news media in Indianapolis, Indiana could be an outside reference. If this particular article on a political party isn't notable, what makes any of the political party articles notable? There are over 100 articles on each of the state party organizations. Will those be deleted as well? I don't think so. I have been thanked many times for this article. It would be a disservice to delete it. There are plenty of wasteful articles on Wikipedia to be concentrating on. User:Kaclock 15:43, 11 March 2007 (EST)
 * Comment - Huh? "over 100 articles on each of the state party organizations" - 50 states X 2 parties (unless you include other parties) X 100 articles on each = 10,000 articles on state party organizations.  I am not sure what you mean.  --rogerd 23:39, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It's fine to pick my grammar apart, but you know what I mean. Stick to the issue at hand here. How are the 100+ articles on other political party organizations any different from this article? User:Kaclock 21:43, 11 March 2007 (EST)
 * I wasn't picking your grammar apart. I was trying to read what you said and understand what you meant.  It would be easier for all concerned if you simply said what you meant.  As far as I know, there are no articles about any party organizations below the state level, except for Tammany Hall, which was an historic political machine that no longer exists.  --rogerd 03:16, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. A county political party organization is not per se notable. There are certainly exceptions: Tammany Hall and the Cook County machine are both clearly notable, but this one doesn't qualify. -- BPMullins | Talk 22:12, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a county political organization not a state organization. This is not one of the major counties in Indiana from what I can tell (Is Indianapolis in this county?).  I don't even think the Cook County Democratic Party has an article.  I may create one though. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 00:56, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * What makes a difference between an article on a state organization and a county organization? In the same breath you want to delete this article, you say you may create an article on your county's Democratic Party. That's certainly hypocritical. To answer your question, Hamilton County is the fourth largest county by population in Indiana. It is a suburb of Indianapolis. Hamilton County is one of the fastest growing counties in the Midwest.

 * Delete as WP:V (no sources other than their own website) and NN. If you can't figure out the difference between the notability of a state and a county organization, we're unlikely to be able to help you. As far as your charge of hypocrisy, there's a world of difference between a suburban county with a population of 240,000 and the county with the 2nd highest population in the United States, with a decades-old nationally known reputation as a byword for Democratic machine politics.

 * Delete as non-notable. As TonyTheTiger stated, county parties do not need articles unless they are notable (or infamous) by independent media coverage.  A scholarly search reveals no evidence of this particular organization doing anything notable. --Mus Musculus 15:12, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
