*Delete striking, see below. Doesn't merit a mention in the List of political parties in Denmark article, so certainly not notable. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 01:52, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I find nothing to support notability on gnews or gbooks.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:12, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep -- There is no requirement that a political party must have successfully elected its candidates. WP:ORG only requires significant coverage in independent sources and which verifies all the information, such as:
- Bering, Marie (1 January 2003). "Nyt Parti Med Visioner" [New Party with Visions]. Jyllands-Posten. Retrieved 2012-01-14.
- Jacobsen Turner, David (25 July 2007). "Den lange vej til Christiansborg" [The Long Way to Christiansborg]. Dagbladet Information. Retrieved 2012-01-14.
- Phil-Andersen, Axel (27 July 2003). "Nyt Parti vil i Folketinget" [New Party will be in Parliament]. Jyllands-Posten. Retrieved 2012-01-14.
- I also note that the party is included in the Den Store Danske, the Danish encyclopedia. — CactusWriter (talk) 23:06, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Changing opinion in the light of CactusWriter's sources. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 23:14, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Only 400 members according to their homepage (in Danish) and as far as I can see, didn't manage to actually become eligible for running for the Danish Parliament. Further I also only found 10 mentions in printed Danish media for a 10 year period. --Heb (talk) 14:57, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Heb, while I agree with you that the party is obviously small and never received more than 0.1 of the vote in regional elections -- the size or importance of an organization, on its own, is not a valid parameter for determining notability (Please see WP:ORGIN). Our guidelines for inclusion only require significant coverage in independent reliable sources. The reliable secondary sources (national newspaper coverage), confirmed by a reliable tertiary source (Gyldendals), meets the policy criteria of WP:GNG. — CactusWriter (talk) 19:00, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I think the splitting hair in this case is, how we interpret the word "significant". For me, 15 mentions in printed media and a mention in another public editable Wiki-based lexical (Gyldendals) doesn't constitute "significant". --Heb (talk) 07:10, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- My reading of the General notability guideline is that "significant" is about quality rather than quantity. You can have a perfectly decent article with just two good sources. I changed my mind about this one, because the sources seemed to be more that just mentions. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 10:09, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Even a fringe party who has never elected anyone, and indeed never been eligible to have anyone elected, would still be notable if reliable sources gave it non-trivial coverage. This appears to be the case here. --Ifnord (talk) 04:27, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
