Skelmersdale Independent Party

Wikipedia is not a Gazetteer of Political Parties. This hyperlocal party has little, to no, achievements and third party coverage which satisfies ORG and GNG. Political parties standing for election is not beyond what is expected for them which counts against an article. doktorb wordsdeeds 19:06, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Many political parties that have not had any elected officials or achievements of which to speak have had pages. Have a look under the No elected UK representation section of List of political parties in the United Kingdom for some examples.DanJWilde (talk) 19:13, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for this reply. You are correct about other parties having articles. Some have gone through the AfD process and the community have agreed to keep them; sometimes the community agreed to delete. doktorb wordsdeeds 19:18, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Could I not just move the page back to draft space, and then re-upload it if and when they gain seats? DanJWilde (talk) 19:20, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * That is certainly one option. You may notice from my recent history that Residents' Association of London was a successful AfD on the same grounds, really, so moving this to Draft would be a great way to keep them "live" without having an article in danger of deletion. doktorb wordsdeeds 20:56, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I may move it to draft space then. I apologise, I'm quite new to the 'formalities' of Wikipedia, does this require some form of consensus? DanJWilde (talk) 21:03, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
