Draft:New Welfare Party

 * – (View MfD)

 * Delete: Submitted five times with basically no improvement, creator has been indeffed for socking, but the creation predates their sock so it's not eligible for G5. Regardless, this almost certainly isn't ever making it to mainspace. There's no reason to retain it. Nathan2055talk - contribs 22:33, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Plausibly notable.  Relates to mainspace articles Fatih Erbakan and Welfare Party.  Tendentious resubmission is solved by the blocking of the tendentious resubmitter.  The block of the author is a poor reason for deletion, unless the recommendation to delete comes from an SPI clerk.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:47, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete - I respectfully disagree with User:SmokeyJoe that sockpuppetry is a poor reason for deletion. Sockpuppetry is a reason why a draft should be viewed with deep suspicion.  If I see that a draft was created by a sockpuppeteer, I tag it with a comment to that effect, so that any future edits or resubmissions will be viewed warily by reviewers and brought to the attention of SPI clerks.  Since we are here, we might as well go ahead and delete it.  The organization is plausibly notable, but a good-faith editor can write a good-faith draft.  It is true that the tendentious resubmission, which was six months ago, has been stopped by the block; but the sockpuppetry is a reason to delete while we are here.

 * Robert McClenon, Sockpuppetry is a poor reason for third parties to nominate drafts for deletion at MfD. It is contrary to WP:DENY.  Bringing these old things here amounts to shadow WP:SPI clerking, which should not be encouraged.  Drafts deleted by blocked editors should be left for G13.  The delay allows plenty of time for the block editor to seek unblocking.  Gnome edits that delay G13 are not an issue, it doesn't matter if 6 months becomes 12 months.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:58, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
