Peace and Ecology Party of Canada
Nothing even verifying this so-called party's existance. WP:NOR. Reads like an ad. Delete Ardenn  21:29, 8 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Weak keep: slightly notable. --  getcrunk   juice  contribs 21:37, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete, per nom. Google search reveals mostly mirror sites. Does not appear to be registered with Elections Canada. Appears to not yet have participated in any election of any sort. Agent 86 21:47, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. They never registered as a federal party, and don't seem to be in operation anymore. Their website is gone (including the ip link that Google turns up), the one public email list I could find for them has almost no traffic, the only media mentions I could find were kind of obscure ones from last year. If some evidence of the party existing and actually doing something could be cited, I could be persuaded to shift to a keep vote. —GrantNeufeld 00:56, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete The only reference is a Yahoo group and that doesn't even seem to be active. Ace of Sevens 06:46, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. The fact that it is no longer active is not relevant. This is not an encyclopedia of things current, but of things current and historical. The article has probelms, which I will try to address in the coming days. It was a serious attempt to organize an alternative to the Green Party of Canada, but one that failed. Failure is not a criterion for deletion. Ground Zero | t 21:22, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Nor is failure a criteria for inclusion. Ardenn  21:25, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Since the focus of this short-lived organization seems to have been to serve as a counter to the Green Party of Canada, and since they don't seem to have actually done much of anything (I haven't seen evidence to the contrary, but would be willing to reconsider if such can be provided), perhaps a paragraph on the Peace and Ecology Party would be appropriate to include in the GPC article as a merge instead of just a delete here? —GrantNeufeld 22:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * That's a reasonable solution, although the GPC article is fiarly large already. It is unlikely that there is much more to be said about the PEP. Ground Zero | t 08:41, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to Green Party of Canada (if the information can be sourced)Homey 00:08, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Green Party of Canada per above comments. —GrantNeufeld 06:32, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
