Surrey First

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Article about a municipal political party represented on a single suburban city council, not properly sourced as passing WP:ORGDEPTH. As always, political parties are not "inherently" notable just because they exist -- notability hinges on media coverage about their activities, not just on verifying their existence. But this is referenced almost entirely to content self-published by the city council itself, which isn't support for notability at all -- and while one footnote does come from a real WP:GNG-worthy media outlet, ORGDEPTH and GNG both militate that one hit of media coverage isn't enough in and of itself. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to have much, much better referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 15:42, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep - I don't disagree that the article needs a lot of work. However, one can find plenty of significant reliable sources from national media on this municipal party. For example, there's these articles from The Globe: Surrey Mayor’s departure marks the end of an era, Surrey First names Linda Hepner as new mayoral candidate. From the Vancouver Sun: Surrey First: The political non-party. From the CBC: Can Surrey First's political dynasty remain on top with a new leader? and Profiling Surrey's political parties: Surrey First, led by Gordie Hogg. There's plenty of reliable references, just an article that needs much improvement. ⁂CountHacker (talk) 09:30, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep per CountHacker. There is a lot of coverage about them, meeting WP:NONPROFIT. 2A01:799:2E3:C500:556:815E:86C2:7DB1 (talk) 15:41, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
