National Democrats (Norway, 1991)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This political list (not political party) stood once for election in a single municipality (albeit the capital of Norway) and gained six hundred votes. Totally minuscule, but what about RS? The article is supported by two newspaper sources, which is not enough to carry an article. However, a book exists which mentions the National Democracts (probably not accessible outside of Norway), and explains that Hege Søfteland was the only known member. The other members, if they existed, were secret. I therefore propose a merge and redirect to Hege Søfteland. Geschichte (talk) 08:04, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, or merge per nom Whether or not it was an actual registered party, this would be non-notable (RS mentions notwithstanding), having contested only one local election and failed at that. WP cannot possibly be expected to log every unsuccessful, minor, here-today-gone-tomorrow political movement. By all means include a mention in Mr Søfteland's article, but that's all. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:18, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - The article is discussed in Norwegian WP and will probably be kept, see no:Wikipedia:Sletting/Nasjonaldemokratene. Should not be merged as the book linked to above shows this was not just the initiative of Hege Søfteland. Erik Gjems-Onstad was co-founder. For those who have acess to scanned Norwegian books in the national library (nb.no) it is clear that there are several books and quite a lot of newspapers who wrote about the party. --regards ツDyveldi ☯ prat  ✉ post 13:35, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep - see above . The article is now kept in Norwegian WP and revision has started there. Decidedly relevant given the historical context when the party was active. There is a lot more sources available in Norwegian books and newspapers and further revisions will follow. Will probably be revised in Norwegian first and then English will follow given time. regards ツDyveldi ☯ prat  ✉ post 05:01, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
 * You don't get to "vote" twice, so I struck the second "keep". What you have failed to demonstrate is that the purported sources are independent, in-depth non-trivial coverage. Keep in mind that I didn't propose deletion, but merging to the only known active member, so the information would be preserved. The book explicitly states that Erik Gjems-Onstad played a negligible role in this entity, he may have been present at the foundation meeting, but was never active. And I repeat that this political list (not political party) stood once for election in a single municipality (albeit the capital of Norway) and gained six hundred votes.

 * I had no intention of "voting" twice. The discussion was relisted and I repeated my opinion from the previous discussion. This is not a vote, this is a discussion of whether or not the article is relevant.
 * - Erik Gjems-Onstad was co-founder [][] which is not a negligible rolle. This should not be redirected to Søfteland.
 * - They also participated in the 1995 elections []. Then in cooperation with Stopp Innvandringen.
 * - Press coverage for the period 1990-1992 was significant []. They are also written about in several books although the book mentioned above is the longest and most comprehensive. Information from this source should be supplementet with other sources though.
 * - This is a question of expanding the article with the available sources from the books, newspapers and journals scanned by Nasjonalbiblioteket. They are available at nb.no and can be accessed by roundabout everybody resident in Norway. --regards ツDyveldi ☯ prat  ✉ post 09:55, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
