 * Delete, NN, good luck, but it'll take a while --Deville (Talk) 03:51, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I looked them up, and they are in the process of being registered with Elections Ontario; I think that makes then notable.  If they don't field anyone in the next election I might change my mind.  Arctic Gnome 04:49, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * There are a lot of political parties that are in the process of being registered. I don't think we want articles on every one of those. --Saforrest 05:56, 29 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. Wait until they field an actual candidate and/or get some press coverage. --Saforrest 05:56, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep, or alternately merge into Reform Party of Ontario. The Representative Party has actually been around for a few years, and they've "unofficially" fielded a candidate in a by-election; also, the party is a successor to the Reform League of Ontario (aka the "Independent Reformers").  They may not have official status yet, but they do exist and are already a real (if peripheral) force in Ontario politics.  CJCurrie 02:59, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep -- Wikipedia has lots of articles on unregistered political parties. There is no reason why this should be different. Wikipedia is not paper -- one of the great things about Wikipedia is that it has room for obscure political movements like this one. After all, it has room for articles on minor fictional characters in Star Wars and Harry Potter. Ground Zero | t 18:34, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
