Scottish Peoples Party

My Google search turns up no sources, even the Facebook link provided is broken. The only mentions I find are fictional. I am in fact wondering if this is a hoax. Happy Squirrel (talk) 02:55, 29 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I apologize, the broken Facebook link was my fault. I've fixed it now; I just had to remove the vertical bar character from the external link. I was in the process of attempting to expand the page. Nevertheless, I agree with you, Happy Squirrel: there's virtually no extant material on the subject. While the author appears to assert that it is a registered party, their own Facebook description contains a disclaimer that it is not yet registered with the United Kingdom Electoral Commission, as is reflected in their absence from the Electoral Commission's online database. In total, including their Facebook profile, thus far I have found only two online entries mentioning the organization.


 * Delete, vide supra. --Erick Shepherd (talk) 03:29, 29 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete. In a nutshell, it's not even registered and there are no third-party sources to reference. Amccann421 (talk) 03:44, 29 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - WP:TOOSOON as the party is not officially registered nor, apparently, yet mentioned anywhere other than on their own website. JMWt (talk) 08:39, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete Looks entirely like a WP:HOAX. Created by a WP:SPA using a single self-published source. As noted, the fact that they are not registered with the Election Commission throws into doubt the only claim of significance that such an entity exists as a political party. Given the absence of coverage, such an organisation would badly fail WP:ORGDEPTH anyway. I note that just after it was created, there was a nomination for speedy deletion, which was contested by the creator of the article on the basis that the subject of the article was a registered political party in Scotland- this would appear to be deception.
