Regional party practically unknown and barely mentioned in a few sources, which ran in just one costitituency in Sicily in 1946 with a poor result. It does not meet WP:GNG. Scia Della Cometa (talk) 21:08, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable subject, quite valuable information that would be lost. --Checco (talk) 07:30, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Checco: Even in this case: why notable? Not for its electoral result: it scored just 0.0% of the vote in 1946. The article must be evaluted for the available sources (and I see only a few mentions about it), while I don't honestly see any "valuable information that would be lost" on this article.--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 12:05, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

comment I agree that this political party is pretty small beer but feel that there should be a place in Wikipedia for it, even if it does not merit a standalone article. The founder has a page in Italian Wikipedia...TheLongTone (talk) 14:59, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I think the problem here is that the party would have been referred to by slightly different names. 'Partito Siciliano del Lavoro' gives more hits, and for example https://books.google.at/books?id=VmVHwYA4RBYC&pg=PA75 Separatism, the Allies and the Mafia: The Struggle for Sicilian Independence (p. 75)] outlines that the Allied powers considered the party as a notable actor at the time. The positioning of the party on Sicilian independence during Allied occupation is covered in other literature as well. Is also covered We also find mentions of 'Partito Independentista Siciliano del Lavoro'. --Soman (talk) 16:41, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep I'm torn about this one because I can find mentions in Google Books but since I can't get more than a snippet I have no idea how substantial the information is about this party. I also have seen, like Soman says, that there may be different versions of the name. Without access to the sources it will not be clear if the source is really about this particular party. I don't think this is an article that can be completed using online searches; it is going to take a trip to a library to find hard-copy sources. Lamona (talk) 02:51, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
