Deletion of Northern Independence Party (2nd nomination)

Comment: Passes  and of interest to our readers. A resounding (more impactful than strong?) keep, now that the party was incorporated, is running, and receives plenty of attention. Laters

Comment: Article is sourced with several reputable references, passes  and Ladbrokes are now putting them ahead of Liberal Democrats in odds for Hartlepool by-election. Have also been endorsed by an ex-Labour MP. I would also like to note significant bias from

Comment: It has become more notable since it was founded, it might not have passed  in the past, but it does now. I would add that regional level media sources are acceptable to establish notability if no better ones exist. It is simply stated that national level ones are preferable. As a regionalist party, regional level media seems appropriate for satisfying

Comment: The relevant standard is . We've got multiple examples of  in the article. The publications include ones covering all Yorkshire (i.e., regional sources per ). I've got questions about whether the coverage is  but the coverage of the Hartlepool byelection appears to address this. Registration or not doesn't matter. Previous deletion doesn't matter given the coverage that has come out since deletion. COI/ doesn't matter if the article can be edited to be , and it obviously can be. The nom is correct that Wiki is not a gazeteer for every minor party - but we certainly can have articles on those that receive significant coverage in reliable sources, and this one has

Comment: Articles about the party in The Northern Echo, The Scotsman and the Sunderland Echo are Sufficient for the  as all three are significant (ie the party is the main topic of the article) reliable (these are long-published local/regional newspapers in the UK) independent (it would be more-or-less illegal for such coverage to not be independent) sources. As it stands this article is undoubtedly at the bottom level of notability, but (1) it still passes the test for me and (2) the balance of probability lies in notability increasing signficiantly in the next 6 weeks with their stated intention to stand at a forthcoming parliamentary by-election. But in case I get accused of crystall-balling, it already passes GNG for me

Comment: per significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Clearly meets (actually substantially exceeds) the requirements of . The organisation having mentioned this AfD on their Twitter feed does not affect the question of whether the organisation is notable by Wikipedia's standards or not. The organisation being listed or not listed on some Register of Political Parties does not affect the question of whether the organisation is notable by Wikipedia's standards or not. There being or not being a COI issue does not affect the question of whether the organisation is notable by Wikipedia's standards or not (and can be addressed elsewhere). The article in its current state does not look overtly promotional to me; and in any case such issues can be resolved by ordinary editing and do not affect the question of whether the organisation is notable by Wikipedia's standards or not

Comment: what changed in December between the last AfD and now, that would serve to justify its recreation? The fact they're running a candidate? It ''still'' fails  (no, a couple regional news articles don't cut it in spite of all the POV-pushing going on here), and should be salted to avoid any future disruption
