Revolutionary Communist Party (Belgium)

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

Tagged as wholly uncited since 2009 and as lacking notability since 2012. Article contains almost no content. Present content makes it impossible to know wether the subject party has ever existed. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 04:26, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Comment. The article was created by a user who thought that political groups were given an automatic pass and excempt from WP:NOTEVERYTHING. In Fr:wiki, it is covered by a mention at https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouvement_mao%C3%AFste_en_Belgique. It seems to be mentioned here. The party contested an election but ended dead last Geschichte (talk) 09:38, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Which election was this? Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 20:33, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @Geschichte I think you meant to say: this article was created by a veteran, prolific contributor to Wikipedia, who's been recognised as an Editor of the Week, and who has made invaluable contributions writing articles about political parties throughout the world. :) FWIW you've conflated two Belgian parties with the same name - the PCR of the 1940s which was Trotskyist with the PCR of the 1980s which was Maoist.

 * Comment A collection of the party's newspaper (L'Exploité) from 1973 to 2000 is held at the Amsab Institute of Social History in Gent (published by the RCP's forerunner the PCBML from 1973 to 1976), three mentions of the party in Pascal Delwit's history of the PTB, from the French language article on Maosim in Belgium Manuel Abramowicz's "The Radical Left in French-speaking Belgium - Electoral, social and political impact (1965-2004)" (which appears to only be available off-line) it's more than reasonable to assume there is discussion of the RCP in that text, so there's good grounds for WP:NEXIST. That said, I'm not necessarily arguing for keep here, but I'm against delete, a merge/redirect might be appropriate to Maoism in Belgium. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 03:34, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge into Marxist–Leninist Communist Party of Belgium as a premature SPINOFF. The Revolutionary Communist Party (Belgium) was a split of the Marxist–Leninist Communist Party of Belgium that is mentioned in the parent. Since there is so little content in Revolutionary Communist Party (Belgium), all of the content can be merged into the parent, easing the "user experience from hell" of having to navigate through many articles with snippets of information. The Communist Struggle (Marxist–Leninist) can also be merged into the parent. All with favorable prejudice on notability, as necessary and long overdue actions of information governance. gidonb (talk) 19:38, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree with this approach. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 22:28, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your support and for nominating, Vif12vf/Tiberius! gidonb (talk) 22:40, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Goldsztajn, my proposal does justice to your findings of NEXIST and your desire for a merge. Can you support? gidonb (talk) 22:52, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Merge per 's very helpful proposal. Regards,--Goldsztajn (talk) 23:06, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
