 * I hope they enjoy their party. Delete. --FCYTravis 05:16, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * This newly formed party has 60 members. The article does not specify if any of them hold elected office which might confer notability. Delete. Keep Uncle G's rewrite - well done Uncle G.Capitalistroadster 05:29, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment. Above recently created account, Chubby Chicken, is voting "keep, notable" for numerous clearly non-notable (indeed bordering on speedy) articles. Please keep that grain of information in mind when counting votes. -- BD2412 talk 20:15, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC)
 * Research confirms that this is definitely a real political party, so this hasn't just been made up for Wikipedia. Unfortunately, the party's web site (according to a list of socialist political parties around the world) is unreachable.  However, this party has been around for longer than 1 day.  In the National Assembly and provincial assembly elections in 2002 it put forward 1 candidate, with a wristwatch as the party symbol, who apparently didn't win; and in 2004 it was asked by the electoral commission along with 11 others to have its submitted statement of account audited by a chartered accountant and re-submitted, doing better than the 34 parties that didn't submit statements at all. Given that we cover other fielded-one-candidate-who-lost parties such as Your Political Party of British Columbia, The Common Good, and Emerged Democracy Party of British Columbia; and parties such as Republic Aotearoa New Zealand Party and New Zealand Family Rights Protection Party I'm currently at Weak Keep.

 * This article is not about the real Social Democratic Party of Pakistan, but more nonsense from creators of Pakistan Social Democratic Platform. Delete . - Mike Rosoft 18:28, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah. In which case ... Uncle G 19:14, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC)
 * It is now. &#9786;  Rewritten article. Uncle G 19:14, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC)
 * And now I am changing my vote to abstain. - Mike Rosoft 02:35, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - definitely after rewrite gren 19:16, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
