Labour Party of America

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This appears to be a hoax. A U.S. party wouldn't use the spelling 'Labour', and the free-hosting website doesn't seem to be that of an actual existing party. Soman (talk) 19:03, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete — I'm with the nominator on this one. Sounds very much like a hoax. The 'fact' it was established this October isn't particularly convincing either. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 19:09, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect to Socialist Labor Party of America - Even if its not a hoax, it fails notability guidelines; created a month ago and no independent coverage I could find. As for whether to delete it or redirect it as I suggested, it doesn't matter that much to me, but just a thought...it might not be a bad idea to redirect someone who may be using British English to find information on a Labor Party of America to something that falls along those lines. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 19:12, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete — Not a hoax, I cannot find any verifiable secondary sources establishing the needed notability for inclusion. Also note a clear conflict of interest with the article's creator; I also suspect possible spamming as a result (i.e. Wikipedia is not the place to primarily let people know about a new party that you created yourself; that must be established outside of Wikipedia first).

 * Comment This group, even if real, is in no way related to the Socialist Labor Party, and that would be a inappropriate redirect. Personally, I doubt its reality altogether. The use of the spelling, incidentally, would be possible in any actual organization that might date from the 19th century,or might be deliberately used as a distinctive name, and does not determine it as a hoax.

 * Delete. I can't find evidence this party ever existed + Soman makes a very good point for "Labour". The fact that the image linked in the article uses British accent it's a strong sign that we are dealing with a hoax here. -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:04, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
