:({{Find sources AFD|Party for Animal Welfare (Ireland)}})

A political organisation that has not registered as a party, has not put forward any candidates for any elections, has received little to no coverage, and generally falls short of all the related notability guidelines. Specifically, in terms of:

• WP:SIGCOV, all of the [https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Party+for+Animal+Welfare%22&source=lnms&tbm=nws&sa=X news coverage] that the group has received is actually linked from the article. Being [https://www.limerickpost.ie/2019/03/01/new-political-party-to-launch-in-limerick/ this piece in a regional paper]. Which is more than a little promotional in tone (ending as it does with an invite to click through to the group's EventBrite page). And [https://www.fm104.ie/news/group-dips-paw-into-politics/ this piece about an appearance on a non-national radio station]. Which is all of three sentences in length.
• WP:NPOL, none of the groups members have held political office. Local, national or otherwise. The article was created in the lead-up to the Irish local and European elections. With a note that the group would be standing candidates in both. But then the group didn't put forward candidates. For either. There are ~2000 candidates standing for ~1000 local council seats, and ~60 candidates standing for ~13 European Parliament seats in the upcoming elections. Many of them, with the greatest of respect, not exactly household names. That this group hasn't put forward even 1 such candidate would suggest a gap between (what the article sets out as) its aspirations and (actual) reality.
• WP:ORGDEPTH, none of the other coverage that I can find covers the organisation in any depth. I can find no academic or book sources, and the only news sources are passing mentions ([https://www.thejournal.ie/sulky-racing-horse-4549849-Mar2019/ like this piece in The Journal]). This lack of in-depth coverage is probably understandable. Given that this is such a very very new group. Which brings me to the last point...
• WP:TOOSOON, it's just too soon. This article was created before the group had done anything of note. Other than to form as a group. Guliolopez (talk) 18:24, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Whatever. I give up. EricthePinko (talk) 20:03, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Not a notable organisation. No significant coverage. Spleodrach (talk) 20:41, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. I also did a quick Google search and found no sources that mentions the party. The sources in the article are mostly primary. The ones that are secondary are not sufficient enough to pass INeedSupport ^:3 13:08, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
