Independent Democratic Party of Russia

There is no such party in Russia.--El1604 (talk) 15:32, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Is that your opinion or a fact? What about, , and ? — Rankiri (talk) 16:13, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. And what do you have as source for your claim that the party does not exist? There are plenty of sources telling about the creation of this party, although still a tiny party but clearly of interest due to its very wellknown leaders. Närking (talk) 16:32, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * here is a list of all registered parties in Russia. "wellknown leaders" really tried to create a party, but fail.--El1604 (talk) 17:06, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's still not registrered as a party but still of interest just like the National Bolshevik Party. Närking (talk) 17:18, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * This party existed, and subsequently has stopped the activity (or not). And Independent Democratic Party of Russia never was. It has not been created at all. no members, no activity. nothing.--El1604 (talk) 17:23, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Once again, if this party is registered or not according to the new tough Russian laws does not mean that it doesn't have a valid place here and it's surely known in media. Närking (talk) 17:42, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * it's known in media only as party creation attempt. it does not exist and does not operate.--El1604 (talk) 17:53, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * And? A party creation attempt that has created such a long list of articles in the media around the world surely has a valid article here. Närking (talk) 18:05, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, there is also WP:NOT. — Rankiri (talk) 18:07, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, it's not just a few articles during a week.Närking (talk) 18:24, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * so this article not about party, and about party creation attempt.--El1604 (talk) 18:19, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Please read the article. Närking (talk) 18:24, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * From http://svpressa.ru/issue/news.php?id=6160 (translation), March 21, 2009: "To date, no decision on the establishment of the party is not accepted, no fixed format for the possible establishment of the party...Clearly something is premature to comment in detail." The nominator seems to have valid WP:CRYSTAL concerns. — Rankiri (talk) 17:14, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link. I've added it to the article now. Närking (talk) 17:42, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. The concerns are understandable but the article's wording is consistent with WP:CRYSTAL and the extended international news coverage seems to indicate sufficient notability of the subject. More links: (produced by Rossiyskaya Gazeta),, (July 2009), . — Rankiri (talk) 18:56, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable. Yes, it's not full-fledged party, but the entry makes that clear. Hairhorn (talk) 04:54, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Extraordinarily obvious keep. Doesn't matter if "there is no such party." If it can be verified that such a party does not in fact exist in Russia, then the article can say "Independent Democratic Party is name of proposed part that does not exist yet in Russia." User:El1604, who has been here supposedly for one month (though obviously an alternat or sock-puppet account,) I don't blame you for disliking Gorbachev, but cut the bullshit and stop misusing Wikipedia. 76.68.62.93 (talk) 05:46, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Please stay civil and assume good faith. Your own contribution history is even less impressive. — Rankiri (talk) 14:11, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
