Party for Animal Welfare (Ireland)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A political organisation that has not registered as a party, has not put forward any candidates for any elections, has received little to no coverage, and generally falls short of all the related notability guidelines. Specifically, in terms of:
 * WP:SIGCOV, all of the news coverage that the group has received is actually linked from the article. Being this piece in a regional paper. Which is more than a little promotional in tone (ending as it does with an invite to click through to the group's EventBrite page). And this piece about an appearance on a non-national radio station. Which is all of three sentences in length.
 * WP:NPOL, none of the groups members have held political office. Local, national or otherwise. The article was created in the lead-up to the Irish local and European elections. With a note that the group would be standing candidates in both. But then the group didn't put forward candidates. For either. There are ~2000 candidates standing for ~1000 local council seats, and ~60 candidates standing for ~13 European Parliament seats in the upcoming elections. Many of them, with the greatest of respect, not exactly household names. That this group hasn't put forward even 1 such candidate would suggest a gap between (what the article sets out as) its aspirations and (actual) reality.
 * WP:ORGDEPTH, none of the other coverage that I can find covers the organisation in any depth. I can find no academic or book sources, and the only news sources are passing mentions (like this piece in The Journal). This lack of in-depth coverage is probably understandable. Given that this is such a very very new group. Which brings me to the last point...
 * WP:TOOSOON, it's just too soon. This article was created before the group had done anything of note. Other than to form as a group. Guliolopez (talk) 18:24, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. I also did a quick Google search and found no sources that mentions the party. The sources in the article are mostly primary. The ones that are secondary are not sufficient enough to pass I Need Support '''  :3 13:08, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
