Jefferson Republican Party

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable. All four sources are to a blog. As far as I can see this alleged party is limited to a blog and a facebook page (with only 177 likes in two years). No outside sources at all, no candidates, no registration as party. Dagko (talk) 19:51, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not a significant political party. Official website is a blog that hasn't been updated for almost a year.Ngfan1 (talk), 24 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - I favor that we treat political parties, their leaders, and their youth sections the same way we treat rivers, towns, highways, high schools, insect species, and professional athletes, keeping them automatically regardless of their size or ideology. This is the sort of material that should be in a comprehensive encyclopedia. If you wish a policy-based rationale, it is: WP:IGNOREALLRULES — use common sense to improve the encyclopedia.

 * This isn't actually a political party - its blog hasn't updated in a year, it was never registered, had no news coverage, no elected officers, and it never had any membership at all. It was just a blog and a facebook page. There is not one outside source for the page.--Dagko (talk) 19:32, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - You guys DO KNOW that the Jefferson Republican Party is another way of saying Democratic-Republican Party which already has a well sourced article. This article is just a duplicate topic. --Mrmoustache14 (talk) 09:21, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, this is something distinct, a modern group. --Dagko (talk) 19:32, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. No coverage in reliable secondary sources to be found. Fails WP:V, WP:GNG & WP:ORG.--JayJasper (talk) 21:54, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete A High Beam search for the exact phrase "Jefferson Republican Party" yielded 3 results, none of which were about this modern third party group. The last entry on the blog "Jefferson Republican Party" was made January 1, 2012. This group appears to be moribund. Certainly they can not be very large or active. Dagko's description is correct as far as I can discover. Donner60 (talk) 07:45, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
