Talk:Labor Party (United States, 1996)

message: Regarding the move, is there a naming policy on political party articles I'm not familiar with? Obviously United States Democratic Party, United States Republican Party, United States Green Party need to be where they are in order to distinguish between parties of the same name in other countries. But there's nothing ambiguous about Labor Party of America, or Socialist Party of America, so shouldn't we be using their actual names? RadicalSubversiv E 23:58, 7 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I know, the naming policy is that it should be listed as United States XYZ unless there is some other name the party uses that is unambiguous.  So Communist Party USA is fine, and Labor Party of America is fine, too, if that's what they call themselves.  However, I did some research be for the switch, and I couldn't find anything that says Labor Party of America is the official name.  Their bylaws online just says the name of the party is "Labor Party".  I'm not sure about Socialist Party of America, either; I've only heard of the Socialist Party USA, but apparently the older group was "... of America." - Nat Krause 06:26, 8 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, you're right. I was for some reason under the impession that Labor Party of America was the official name, but it's clearly not. Incidentally, the Socialist Party USA is one of the successor organizations to the Socialist Party of America, which eventually wound up in a three-way split, with none of the factions sticking to the original name.

message: Their homepage does not seem to have been updated since 2006 and that seems a long time for a political party.  The copyright at the bottom also does not go past 2006 and their party newspaper does not seem to have been updated since 2005.  Perhaps someone could try and find out if they are still a political party or not.  I have tried to find some information, but I could not find anything.  76.183.160.130 (talk) 22:09, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Should we make mention of it in the article that the party is probably now defunct while mentioning their homepage has not been updated since 2006.  Then change it later if their is a sign that their is still life in this party. 76.183.160.130 (talk) 00:34, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  They ran a candidate in 2020 and I know multiple of their supporters, so yes they are indeed around but it seems only as a small scale operation in South Carolina.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.28.173.208 (talk) 03:51, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
