Reformist Alliance

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Small and unknown party, which existed for a few months with the sole purpose of joining the Democratic Party. The page is written in three lines and devoid of sources. At most it can be mentioned on the page of Ottaviano Del Turco. Scia Della Cometa (talk) 13:50, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. Wikipedia is great especially when it gathers information on little-known subjects. This article could be easily merged to a larger one, but, for the sake of readers, it is better to have it as a stand-alone one. Indeed, that makes it easier to follow its political path. The Reformist Alliance was a political party and later a faction within the Democratic Party, as many others. This, like all of them, deserve an article of its own. It it is not possible to keep it as I would like, an alternative (worse) solution would be to merge it with Italian Democratic Socialists, in order to preserve the article's history, at least. --Checco (talk) 06:20, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I affirm the same thing also in this Afd: the Wikipedia rules do not state that even unknown or semi-unknown subjects have their own standalone article, notability is fundamental. As you say, this subject can easily be merged with another larger page (I think of Ottaviano Del Turco), and this above all in the sake of readers: certain information will certainly be read more easily in a more important article than in a standalone article like this one .--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 09:01, 25 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete as it has no sources at all backing its existence nor its relevance for WP. Might be completely made-up since information reported cannot be verified. Yakme (talk) 09:07, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge with Ottaviano Del Turco - I added some sources to the article. Anyway, I think that this short-lived movement (it lasted just 6 months) doesn't deserve its own article. P1221 (talk) 10:33, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge with Italian Democratic Socialists, but also preserve the information at the article for Ottaviano Del Turco, the party's key figure.--Autospark (talk) 12:35, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment. I firmly believe that this grouping, originally a faction within the Italian Democratic Socialists and later a founding member of the Democratic Party, should have its own article, as explained above. Luckily enough, there are several hits for "alleanza riformista" + "ottaviano del turco" in Google (see here). If a stand-alone article is not possible, I would also accept a merger, but with Italian Democratic Socialists, not the leader Ottaviano Del Turco. --Checco (talk) 14:21, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
