South Island Party (2008)

The only thing notable it did was apply for broadcasting funding. That is the only thing found outside the primary sources. Everything in the article is sourced to either Richard Prosser or Elections.org.nz. New-Newbie (talk) 00:07, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. In general, New Zealand parties which never stood candidates in elections have not been kept (the exceptions being long-standing left-wing parties which had a base in the trade union, student or similar movements). In this case, there do not appear to be sources independent of the party's founder which do more than say that Prosser intended to form the party.- gadfium 19:26, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to NZ South Island Party, as it's a similar group of people doing basically the same thing. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:55, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The NZ South Island Party appears to be a separate entity with a similar aim so it should not ne merged or redirected there. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 11:12, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Deleteper nom. Insufficient refs. Most it is from Prosser making a lot of noise. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 11:12, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
