The result was redirect to Peter Breen (Australian politician). There was a split in the redirect targets, but Peter Breen (Australian politician) was the most suggested. Guerillero Parlez Moi 18:02, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Renewable Energy Party

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

Fails WP:ORG. Could not find indepth coverage except the first hit in gnews. A minor party that existed for 2 years and never gained a seat. LibStar (talk) 04:23, 15 July 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  04:50, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Nothing screams non-notable for a party involved in democratic politics than the words regarding its candidates for office,'none of whom were elected'. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:44, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep There are a large number of defunct parties in the navigation template at the bottom of the page. It got more votes than about ten other groups in each state in the election it contested - see Results of the 2016 Australian federal election (Senate). Registered parties are part of the history of Australian politics and there is nowhere sensible for the (non-template) links to go instead. --Scott Davis Talk 05:05, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Results of the 2016 Australian federal election (Senate), I was only able to find one reliable, secondary source that gave this extremely minor party significant coverage, here. I couldn't find anything else, meaning this party fails WP:GNG. Changing my vote to Keep per the sources found by Find bruce below. Devonian Wombat (talk) 23:50, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Results of the 2016 Australian federal election (Senate) is a sensible option, as it stands the topic is not notable and fails WP:NORG.  HighKing++ 15:31, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep In addition to the source mentioned by Devonian Wombat, there is also crikey.com.au about the party & people involved, Northern Star & each of the sources meet each of the criteria in WP:ORGCRIT. --Find bruce (talk) 03:28, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * This is an organization therefore WP:NORG criteria applies. That includes the requirement for "Independent Content" as per WP:ORGIND. The Crikey reference has no "Independent Content" as the information is entirely provided by members of the org and whatever is left over fails ORGDEPTH. Similarly, the Daily Telegraph report on their inaugural meeting also relies entirely on information provided by the party and members, fails NORG for the same reasons.

 * Redirect to Peter Breen (Australian politician), party founder, not an implausible search term. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 09:55, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Query Are the people proposing "Redirect" intending to Merge to their chosen target or to throw away the current content? There's little point in trying to expand the article from the growing reference list here (add ABC News in WA) if the effort is deleted anyway. AFD only requires that the sources exist, not that they are used. --Scott Davis Talk 11:05, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect doesn't throw away content, the content is fully available in the history. FWIW that ABC News piece is almost exclusively interview text. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 01:13, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Peter Breen (Australian politician). Lacks in-depth coverage to meet WP:NORG. MrsSnoozyTurtle 01:44, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect. Cites no substantial coverage in reliable sources.  Sandstein   18:47, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Sources presented overly reliant on comments from people associated with the party, not meeting ORGIND in this case. Party founder is suitable redirect destination and content is not overly problematic. Alpha3031 (t • c) 10:56, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
