Social justice party of canada --- REPLY

It is a new party that is currently in the process of registration with elections canada, we have an office and a phone number 1-888-740-8880. We also have reached the minimum requirements to register as a federal party in Canada and we will be running 50+ candidates as of now in the next election.

Having said that, have you seen the Canadian political parties that have pages?? The Sex Party - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sex_Party, The Rhinoceros Party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhinoceros_Party The WORK LESS PARTY - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_Less_Party

What you are saying is EXTREMELY TROUBLING!!!! Just because YOU have not heard of a party it does not get to be on WIKIPEDIA??? That is not what Wikipedia is about. We are a real serious party with a real platform, and you are trying to censor us? I am very confused. The page has hardly any information on it because when we included the overview of the party platform, it was deleted for copyright reasons?? Even though a non-profit political party's platform is Clearly in the public domain, and I even told the last person that we would put one of your COPYLEFT notices on the page but it was deleted within an hour..

We are a VERY mainstream party with candidates that were previously with other MAJOR parties, I can only imagine how a small non-mainstream party would fair. As for the website, there is a new version being rolled out as we speak.. Please feel free to call our phone number and talk. I am sorry if I seem upset, but I am. I have been a Wikipedia supporter/donor for 10+ years, and I literally cannot believe the editorial process. I have now asked 3 or 4 of the self appointed ADMINS to please email me or let me know how to do it properly, and have heard nothing back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Canadian007 (talk • contribs) 06:12, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry you are frustrated. Let me help you out. You are lucky I happened to review the new article because I'm not just blowing it off as an ignorant American or something, but because I'm a Canadian political junkie. I know of all the parties you mention but not this one. Wikipedia does not create pages based solely on self published sources. Your party could be a complete hoax for all we know. Editors look for reliable secondary sources. So, what have major newspapers or CBC or CTV said about this party? I can't find any outside sources. If it is actually registered with Elections Canada that might be enough to pass the notability test - can you ad a link to verify that? Wikipedia is never going to be the first place your party gets discussed. You got to get some press first. Anyway, this process takes about a week, editors will comment, and a consensus decision will be made based on policy (hopefully). In the meantime, you are free to edit the article and improve it according to Wikipedia standards. An improved article with at least a couple outside sources is unlikely to be deleted. You can also add platform info as long as it is not directly copied (can't tell you if a Canadian political platform is copyright). Let me know if I can help further and good luck with your endeavor. Anyone that takes the time to get involved to change the country is a good person to me. Legacypac (talk) 06:29, 11 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks so much for the reply, I appreciate you taking the time to explain the process to me. I also appreciate the fact that you are Canadian and interested in politics. I only mentioned those parties because although most Canadians know one or two of them, they are basically satirical in nature, yet still listed along side parties that intend to have MP's elected. There are many others listed there that I doubt any Canadians have heard of, and they do seem to have their own page. Having said that I do fully understand now the concept of the notability test, and you are right we do need more secondary sources. I think I might have been putting the cart before the horse, and I honestly really appreciate you putting it in a way that was easy to understand, and I apologize for venting on you.


 * As I mentioned I am a volunteer for the party and we have been in SUPER STEALTH mode. We are literally working around the clock this weekend to get everything rolled out Monday, we have been trying to launch everything all at once; Website, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Youtube, Tumblr, Linkdin, and with the social sites we have to release main page plus a page for each candidate, a lot of work. We are launching publicly Monday, and several of the candidates, and party brass will be doing some interviews in the coming week. This should provide a ton of secondary sources, and I will also see how we can link to the elections Canada registration. Obviously we felt that at the very least a small page on Wikipedia with basic party information, and party platform overview should be put up. I will start putting as much info (secondary source, registrations, etc) as I can get up here as soon as possible. Thanks again.

 * Great that should give the party the notability it needs. Its a pretty low threshold for a political party I think. Let me see if I can get the correct capitalization of the name fixed up for you.  Withdrawing nomination for now.
