Delete at the very least it's WP:TOOSOON for a this organization (not really or not yet a political party,) that drew a minor media flurry in 2018, and another last week Winnipeg cultural club board member resigns after venue hosted Canadian Nationalist Party meeting. Recently founded by a youngish chap whose page has been redirected here. Just not meeting the [[W{SIGCOV]] bar; note that coverage of the orgs goal in reliable newspapers like the National Post cite the org's website, whiich is not the same as an INDEPTH, INDEPENDENT evaluation of the gorup's goals.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:04, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note that a significant "Canadian Nationalist Party" existed in the 1930s. It was one of Canada's several small Nazi-supporting political movements in that era, and it certainly has a prior claim to the name and ought to have an article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:04, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A Canadian federal political party in the process of finalising its application as a federal political party to take part in the 2019 federal elections. There is good coverage of the party at least recently in the Canadian media including the CBC, CTV and major Canadian newspapers. werldwayd (talk) 15:18, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is more of a groupuscule than anything else. If you have that good coverage it would be interesting to add it here or directly to the page, I had a look and could only find anecdotal stuff. Maybe when they are actually registered it would be worth having a page but until then I don't think they meet notability requirements. Dom from Paris (talk) 15:34, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the Canadian Nationalist Party is one guy, Travis Patron, and as such the article should be deleted per WP:BLP1E. Here are some writeups about Patron's single event: [1] [2] [3] Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 16:59, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
weak delete too soon for this article, but recreating it when the party becomes officially registered seems like it would be good.desmay (talk) 19:15, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This group, which aspires to become a registered political party, has a valid, albeit controversial platform which will elicit protests from those who do not share its views. It is notable simply for the policy position it has taken, which challenges the more established parties. The group has garnered some media attention. The Wikipedia article should be kept in the interests of dialogue and freedom of expression. If the group is not successful in obtaining registration as an official political party, the article can eventually be taken down.

Keep - The party has been in the news, both locally, and nationally, for an event in Winnipeg, which resulted in Police being called after an altercation with counter-protestors, and the Belgian Club withdrawing from the year's Folklorama event.^[1] WpgJets4Life (talk) 23:29, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:TOOSOON I think. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 13:41, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Canadew (talk) The party is nearing federal party status once it achieves the 250 confirmed responses of membership confirmations. In addition, it is likely that many members of the party will take to social media outlets and report this deletion as "censorship", thus only giving the party more traction and publicity, something that overexaggerators and opposition of the party should take note of.

This is not a concern for Wikipedia editors we discuss notability and whether subjects meet the guidelines or not. Wikipedia is not censored. Dom from Paris (talk) 08:34, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep They are an active political platform which is currently growing and discussing policies to bring forth into the Canadian political arena. They meet the requirements to become a party minus the acceptance by parliament. Keep as a historical reference even if they don't become registered. Even if the party does not succeed to become registered this year, there is a good chance they will remain active and continue to apply until they are registered.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajdoge (talk • contribs) 08:40, 7 August 2018 (UTC)— Ajdoge (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete There are plenty of small far-right organizations in Canada. Them attempting to organize one event doesn't break the WP:BLP1E barrier, and agree WP:TOOSOON applies. Basically, there's no need to lend credence to every person who claims he's founding a federal party when he hasn't actually run any candidates in elections under that banner.

Delete. There doesn't seem to be the kind of in depth coverage in reliable sources that are required to demonstrate notability to Wikipedia's standards. Certainly no objection to re-creating the article when/if notability is achieved. Cheers, Dawn Bard (talk) 02:31, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
