Irish Unionist Party (2020)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Per the discussion at Talk:Irish_Unionist_Party_(2020), I propose that this article be deleted for falling short of the relevant notability criteria. In short, in terms of: While not wishing to seem disparaging, the subject here seems to be a very small group of people (perhaps just one person), created by a teenager, armed with a free Wix.com website and a sticker maker. That has been the subject of some "get a load of this guy" coverage in a small number of sources (the seed of which being a source which the community has agreed is to be avoided to support content or a notability claim).

 * WP:NGO (which suggests that an "organization's longevity, size of membership, major achievements, prominent scandals, or other factors specific to the organization should be considered [in determining notability]") is not met. In short, this appears to be a very small org (somewhere between perhaps 1 and 20 people?), that has barely existed for a few months (Nov 2021?).
 * WP:SIGCOV (which expects significant coverage in reliable independent sources) is not met. In short, pretty much all of the coverage of this topic seems to derived from a single sensationalist piece in the Irish Sun. A source which itself is covered under WP:THESUN for exactly this type of sensationalist "journalism". And which seems to have begat all/most of the other coverage. (The Irish Central piece, for example, refers to and is effectively a reprint of the Irish Sun content. As are the other web-only reprints.)
 * WP:ORGDEPTH (which expects coverage that "extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements, and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the org") isn't met. In that we have two "bursts" of coverage. One in Nov 2021, reprints/replications of the Irish Sun's "org created" article. And another glut in Feb 2022, of the "some people still don't like my controversial views" variety. Neither of which is enough to expand beyond the very scant detail in the article. ("Teenager creates website and political group which is not registered to contest elections anywhere.")
