Save Our State (Australia)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Lack of notability as per WP:ORG. Even cursory Google searches reveal few reliable independent secondary sources, most of which contain only passing mentions. The book cited on the existing page is in a similar situation. The creator of the page also likely has a conflict of interest. Takerlamar (talk) 00:36, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. First, any COI from the creator is no reason to delete the page. Second, the party has been registered at state level and has contested several elections, which has generally been considered grounds for notability. And third, any searches should be conducted with "Save Our Suburbs" as the search term, since the group's greatest notoriety came under its former name. It's discussed quite extensively in this book, and a Google archives search turns up a fair bit. But, as I said, the main thing is that, as a party registered at state level for several elections, past practice has been that this guarantees notability. Frickeg (talk) 01:45, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Registered political party with a long history and plenty of sources. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 18:57, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
