The result was merge to
List of state Green Parties in the United States. In the future, I recommend discussing specific, non-local, reliable sources in arguments to "keep" articles on similar organizations. czar 07:21, 27 January 2017 (UTC)reply
Delete. No candidates, not listed on directories of NC political parties. At this stage, a social club asking for donations. Possibly too soon.

Comment, I totally disagree term "social club asking for donations" by Jacknstock. They ran a write in campaign for
Cynthia McKinney. Also in 2000, former party chairman
Doug Stuber ran
Ralph Nader's Green Party presidential campaign. Then there's the
Jill Stein connection. Hardly a social club!

Every source says Jill Stein was not on the ballot in NC. As I said, this club ran no candidates. You're just name-dropping, and the notable people you list seem to not even be members of this club. Even if they were,
WP:INHERITORG.

Reply to AusLondonder. I know that AusLondonder. That's why I said many notable aspects as per my findings. I did a couple of quick edits as I was rushed but what I found in my searches about the party were enough to satisfy me that this is a notable political party and therefore worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia. Thanks.

Keep established political party that is party of established national party. Multiple independent sources cover organization and actions of group going back over a decade.--

Keep, clearly this political party faces challenges regarding ballot access, but they are an active state party of the national GPUS. Also Jill Stein was the only recognized write-in candidate in NC in 2106. --

Keep - Although currently a stub, this meets notability as a state affiliate of the fourth largest US political party. It has run organized ballot access drives and lawsuits. It has engaged in coordinated write-in campaigns. It has had members prominently involved in the 2000 and 2016 presidential campaigns, as well as currently serving on the national GP Steering Committee.

Delete as
WP:TOOSOON Party has not been on the ballot; neither has it been covered in
WP:RS. Most of the references are self-sourcing, the only "newspaper" is
The Daily Tar Heel, an undergrad newspaper, insufficient to support notability. It is one of only 7 hits in a g-News search
[1], 2 of which are mere event listings, the others discusses this party only as one of a group of parties trying to get on the ballot.
