Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Libertarian Party (United Kingdom)
I posted above about the SPA manipulations behind this article's creation, but haven't voted till now.  My trouble with the article is with the sources.  The electoral commission is not a good source, since anybody can pay a certain amount of money and register a party--that is the equivalent of "publishing" a vanity-press "book."  The rest of the sources are all blogs.  Blogs (see ) are generally not accepted as sources on Wikipedia because, well, anybody at all can write anything at all on some blog, so it doesn't necessarily mean anything.  Again, it's like "publishing" a vanity-press "book."  Apart from this problem, most of the other citations in the article come from the party's own website, which is just another variety of "blog," if you think about it.  Using the party's own site falls under , which lists seven requirements for an acceptable self-published source.  In my view, this article fails on all seven criteria.  So, given all of this together, we have ''an article that is completely unsourced.''  Clearly, anybody can pay to register a "political party," start a website about it, and then arrange for a few blogs to mention it.  '''''This is not notability--this is nothing more than self-promotion.'''''  Thus, this article has no place on Wikipedia
