- Keep there is an entire
MA thesis written about the SP in Colorado during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. Here is
another article about it.
This book covers the topic extensively. Colorado, as a state with more than its fair share of labor revolt, was home to a very active socialist party/movement. The nominator should read
WP:BEFORE regarding what to do in a situation like this. Notability is determined by the number and quality of sources on a topic, not by the sources on the article.--

- That Grand Junction article is about the national party. Not the state party. Toa Nidhiki05 04:23, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

- I have no clue what you're getting at, but I don't typically keep a record of nonexistent sources for non-notable political parties that don't meet
WP:GNG and
WP:SIGCOV.

- Copy and pasting the explanation I provided in the other place you asked also: "What I'm getting at is that there is a policy that informs the steps you should take before nominating articles for deletion and it includes searching for them in multiple places and it's not clear to me if you have done that. And therefore you are sort of forcing everyone else to do the background work that you should do before you nominate things for deletion."

- I'm well aware of BEFORE, I've been here for 15 years, and I would strongly encourage you to stop making
WP:BADFAITH claims that I'm not following it.

- It seems weird to keep answering the same question in two place, so I'll just say that my starting point was hopefully clearly the good faith assumption that you did do that which is why I asked you to tell us what the process brought up. Rather than keep replying to questions twice, maybe just reply at /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Green_Party_of_New_Mexico if you want to ask me more?

- Does anyone have access to the book mentioned above Radicalism in the Mountain West, 1890-1920 Socialists, Populists, Miners, and Wobblies on Proquest or in a library? If the reviews here and elsewhere are accurate, this would seem to be significant coverage. Jacona ( talk) 14:51, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
