National Health Action Party

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails our notability guidelines on organisations and on political parties. Whilst well sourced, this article is ultimately about a pressure group, without any evidence to support its notability or importance. If it is a political party, there has not been any elections to warrant its inclusion on Wikipedia. If it's a pressure group, there's not been enough pressure enacted on government or elsewhere to justify its place here either. Whilst the NHAP does have a former MP amongst its founders, notability does not "transfer" across (to my understanding). doktorb wordsdeeds 06:28, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Article and a little searching show it has been the specific subject of a number of articles in highly reliable sources, which is what notability means at Wikipedia.John Z (talk) 08:18, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep It meets the terms of WP:ORG as "the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources" and it passes all the provisos given there. The call for deletion is not using criteria from WP:ORG or WP:GNG: arguments in AfD should be based on Wikipedia policy not personal views of what should or shouldn't be in the encyclopedia. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:59, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep -- This appears to be an attempt to take Independent Kidderminster Hospital and Health Concern beyond being a mere local policitical party. In that the lcoal party had considerable success, with the MP sitting for two parliaments and controlling the district council.  The article cites coverage in a lcoal newspaper, which should be sufficient.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:54, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
