Your recent PRODs

Hi, Obi2canibe, I wanted to discuss your use of WP:PROD ↗s and notability. That page notes "PROD must only be used if no opposition to the deletion is expected"; a PROD of new well-referenced, well-formatted article is almost certainly going to be disputed at least by the creator, so PROD isn't appropriate. You also didn't consider alternatives to deletion ↗ - for a local political party, that might be a merge or redirect to a person or place connected to the party. One Leicester Party ↗ and Peterborough First ↗ were both redirects before an article was created; deletion would have left readers with less information than before the articles were created.

You cited WP:NONPROFIT ↗ as though it rules out local organisations, but that reading is wrong: it says organisations are usually notable if they are nationwide and have sigcov, but not that local organisations can't be notable. WP:AUD ↗ advises that national or international coverage helps establish notability of local organisations.

Meeting the WP:GNG ↗ overrides subject-specific notability guidelines, providing WP:NOT ↗ is also respected. To quote WP:NORG ↗, "Organizations are considered notable if they meet one of the following sourcing requirements: 1. these alternate criteria, 2. the primary criteria for organizations, ''or'' 3. the general notability guideline ''and'' the article complies with the policy Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, especially with regards to avoiding indiscriminate inclusion of information." Two major exceptions to GNG purely being enough are WP:BLP1E ↗ and WP:NEVENT ↗, where the policies WP:BLP ↗ and WP:NOTNEWS ↗ respectively create a need for more stringency.

:I chose the PROD route because I did not expect any opposition. WP:NONPROFIT ↗ is very clear that organisations must has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the organization (as WP:GNG ↗) '''and''' that their scope of activities is of a national/international in scale. That clearly wasn't the case with these local parties. If I had expected opposition I would have taken them straight to AfD, like I did with 2026 Masterton District Council by-election ↗.
:Whilst WP:GNG ↗ ''presumes'' that a subject is notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it does not ''guarantee'' it. WP:ORGCRITE ↗ also says notability is ''presumed'', nothing about guaranteed. In this instance we have a specific notability guideline, WP:NONPROFIT ↗, which states that meeting the threshold set by WP:GNG ↗ is not enough to be notable. The organisation's scope must be national/international.
:I will be taking all the articles to AfD. Obi2canibe ↗ (talk) 21:10, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
