Poole People Party

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a local political party at the municipal level, in a city not large enough to make its local politics a topic of encyclopedic interest — for example, none of its three councillors, not even the party leader, are getting articles under WP:NPOL on this basis. The article is referenced 2/3 to primary sources that don't assist in building notability at all, and 1/3 to the purely routine local media coverage that's simply expected to exist for people and entities in local politics, so they don't clear WP:ORGDEPTH's requirement that coverage of a topic like this is more than just local.

 * maybe keep. It is a real political party, in a real polity (pop.~ 150,000).  The several politicians elected under this party banner could be mentioned on this page.  Party gets regular coverage in the Bournemouth Daily Echo, but also intermittent coverage on the BBC,  and other media.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:19, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep I have found lots of BBC coverage of the party; 1 23 4 (the included articles are just some of the BBC coverage of Poole People - there is more). These are not just mere mentions; they extensively talk about the party. Additionally, many local papers (such as the Bournemouth Echo) talk about Poole People. Overall, I believe it suitably passes notability guidelines and the party is worthy of having its own page (hence why I created the page in the first place!).
