1. Purely political content; obscure fringe political parties nobody even knows or cares about are not missional, and their charity work that obviously has ulterior motives besides altruism is no more missional than similar charity work done by religious organizations for similar reasons. RW's mission has never been about promoting communism and it's annoying that the the ongoing brigade of drive-by tankies who are more concerned about "muh ideological purity" than the actual fucking mission is trying to make it that way. That being said, I find it flattering that they think they can use our little wiki which nobody edits as a vehicle to promote their ideas. --Goatspeed. _{Watch me}CircularRasoning^{See my experiments} 21:17, 15 March 2021 (UTC) --Goatspeed. _{Watch me}CircularRasoning^{See my experiments} 21:17, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
2. Utterly garbage. GeeJayK (talk) 21:22, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
3. Doesn't seem notable enough for an article...-Flandres (talk) 21:26, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
4. I disagree with the missionality and notability concerns, but the article as it stands is worthless. Christopher (talk) 21:27, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
5. Draft, will probably stay draft since it's not really engaging. Better off with delete. --It's-a me, LeftyGreenMario! 21:32, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
6. Not worth much and will never leave draftspace. Do we even need to do AFD votes for drafts? Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 22:53, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
7. Should have been deleted on the grounds that it is an "hopelessly tiny stub". MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 23:40, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
8. Deleted. JJP...MASTER!_{[talk to] JJP... master?} 23:47, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

1. How are fringe political parties not missional? The mission says "Documenting the full range of crank ideas", not just mainstream ones. Plutocow (talk) 21:21, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

   If this party was more relevant then I would agree, but the main thing I didn't like besides the fact that this was made by such a heavily-biased editor was the fact that the topic just isn't notable enough. Everyone knows the CPUSA and Socialist Workers' Party, but I had no idea that this one was even a thing until I saw this draft in RecentChanges. --Goatspeed. _{Watch me}CircularRasoning^{See my experiments} 21:24, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

   If anything this tidbit would be part of the Socialist Workers Party (US) RW article, which on RW currently for some reason ends in 1983. Per the other wiki 1983 was when a philosophy schism of some sort happened, the result of which was this and one other trivial importance party. Not important enough for its own page, IMHO.

   There are, like, a zillion fringe political parties. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 22:54, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
