Keep. Deletion nomination does not state a valid reason for deletion. Tag the article for expansion, or expand it yourself, if you don't like it being so short. --doncram 04:13, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Doncram: I'm pretty sure WP:NOTWEBHOST is a valid reason.... --Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 04:19, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Zackmann08: The GPK has its own website. The article exist to inform those seeking info about an organization in a rapidly evolving political landscape in a region in flux. I don't see WP:NOTWEBHOST as relevant. Bcharles (talk) 20:08, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete since there aren't sources to show that its a notable party. They didn't place at Iraqi Kurdistan parliamentary election, 2013 either. ValarianB (talk) 16:15, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No candidates = no political party. A social club. Jack N. Stock (talk) 06:49, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jacknstock Being a political party is not required to be notable. Many political parties focus on political issues instead of on candidates. Bcharles (talk) 04:38, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No coverage in independent reliable sources, so fails WP:ORG. GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 05:46, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This is notable organization. The article includes some background, sources, an infobox, and a navebox for context. The language barrier may slow the evolution of the article, but this stub is a good foundation. Bcharles (talk) 19:53, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes but how good an article looks and how nice it is to navigate it are not reasons to keep an article. For the sources, there areseveral press releases, a link to a discussion forum, and a link to the party's own website. None of these are enough to meet notability guides. ValarianB (talk) 12:55, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawing my support due to the weakness of the sources, and lack of evidence of activities. Bcharles (talk) 04:38, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - per Bcharles. It's notable. Me-123567-Me (talk) 17:26, 25 January 2017 (UTC) DELETE per Editor B and WP:ONEDAY. Me-123567-Me (talk) 18:50, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Me-123567-Me: And per ValarianB that argument it totally invalid. As a self-proclaimed member of the green party (it is plastered all over your user page), you have a clear WP:COI. --Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 17:47, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - I am neither a paid editor nor am I involved with this party. Supporting -a- green Party != COI. Me-123567-Me (talk) 23:00, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Can't quite bring myself to a conclusion, but wanted to share this feedback from a colleague who is also a longtime scholar of political movements in general and Greens in particular. His opinion: 'I may be wrong but don't think there is any "Green Party of Kurdistan"as an actual functioning party or political movement, though a few people may have started a club by that name. I've been reading a lot on Kurdish issues and no such party is ever mentioned when parties are discussed' (via private email) Editor B (talk) 17:35, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per Editor B. J947 03:32, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
