Delete

1. An utterly irrelevant third party that went bust sometime after 2019, and got less votes than the fucking Legal Marijuana Now Party A somebody. (talk) 23:56, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

   If we had a page for political parties of the United States, then we could merge some of the more relevant parts of this article with that. Given that we have no such article, however, it's probably better off being deleted. Sincerely, Postuhenin the neurodivergent doodlebug! (say hi! ^^) 01:55, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

2. No longer in operation , delete. Intelligentguy (talk) 13:52, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
3. Pointless article , unless we want to open a can of worms for an article on political parties US. Delete Bookability (talk) 13:55, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

   Not worth preserving. —cosmikdebris ^talk stalk 15:39, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

4. Agree with Cosmikedebris , not worth preservation , incinerate! Leparis (talk) 23:53, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

1. Does not have a WP page - it got AfD'd in 2019. We are all that is left. While not strictly missional, I do think it should remain as a record for history and is something to help RW raise it's profile with the Big Public [for every time someone views us for this page, they might look at others]. Perhaps someone could simply reduce it to a past-tense semi-stub, ready for the time a big 'US political parties' page is made, as suggested by Postuhenin? [I have visions of perhaps a huge political compass with all the minor/defunct parties plotted on it]. KarmaPolice (talk) 14:27, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
2. Support keeping for archival purposes. Carthage (talk) 02:54, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
3. While the page does not exist on Wikipedia, it is still worth it to keep here because the article itself was nicely written so far with enough sources. Contractor (talk) 03:22, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

   All but one of the links has died. And how could we prove that the stuff we quoted from them isn't just made up to make them look bad? A somebody. (talk) 18:29, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

   Did you even bother to check the internet archive? I didn't think so. I updated the page to show preserved snapshots of the dead links. —cosmikdebris ^talk stalk 19:14, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

   Pretty sure this is a violation of the interaction ban. (Oh wait, nvm I'm an idiot. I misread.) Carthage (talk) 00:20, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

5. (edit conflict) Same reason as KarmaPolice, Carthage, and Contractor. Luigifan18 (talk) 19:15, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
6. Nicely written article i may research and contribute more if the AFD decides to keep the article. David D (talk) 16:45, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
7. Agree with KP's suggestion and am changing my vote accordingly. Sincerely, Postuhenin the neurodivergent doodlebug! (say hi! ^^) 21:39, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
