UKIP Frontbench Team

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:GNG. No evidence of WP:SIGCOV in reliable independent sources nor could any be found in my WP:BEFORE. The only independent sources cover UKIP's actual leader/leadership, but not a frontbench team per se. UKIP-controlled outlets are not independent and as such cannot support notability of the page. More broadly, UKIP has never been present on the front bench of the House of Commons (indeed it has only ever been very briefly in parliament, in small numbers, and has never had an MP elected) and therefore cannot ever have had a "frontbench team". Given UKIP's collapse in support it is unlikely to ever have a presence in parliament again. FOARP (talk) 14:35, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete As proposer notes, this subject fails the GNG. Any material well-enough supported to be merged already exists elsewhere. Ralbegen (talk) 14:53, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete -  Even when UKIP polled the third highest number of votes in a general election  in 2015 or were making significant progress in other elections only a few of its leadership attracted significant or sustained coverage. Since 2017 it has certainly not been a major party, and its front bench team would not be seen as any more notable than that of any other small party (or I suspect fully known even by most political active people in the UK). Even 2015 it is highly doubtful that it could be seen as a credible future government, so I do not think that this a subject notable enough to have its own article.
