I have entered one short paragraph concerning myself, Bob Buxton, which is factual and referenced, including a reference to a newspaper, the Telegraph & Argus. I would consider this a minor contribution, not a major one.
Since I'm merely a candidate (not elected), I'm not allowed to have my own wiki article (it was rejected for this reason only), so this one paragraph is the only information available to the public. This gives the current MP, and any other candidate who qualifies for their own article, an advantage. It's perfectly reasonable to expect voters to want to read about all candidates before voting. British media will always give greater coverage to larger parties. Indeed, the aforementioned Telegraph & Argus was the only paper to even mention my candidacy.
Similarly, Yorkshire First do not qualify for any election coverage on TV and radio, even if they stand in every one of the 54 seat in Yorkshire.
Wikipedia strives for neutrality and equality, unlike other media. I believe candidates for major elections should be allowed to have an article, providing the usual rules are obeyed. The page should not endorse or criticize their policies, but merely state what they are with valid references. Drbobyorkshire ( talk) 18:04, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments Emeraude, I take your point about Wikipedia not being a news medium. Since my original comment and edit, 2 further local papers have covered my candidacy, The Wharfedale Observer and The Ilkley Gazette, which are sister papers. I have re-referenced accordingly. Regards, Bob. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drbobyorkshire ( talk • contribs) 18:05, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
Yorkshire First claims observer status in the European Free Alliance. However, the EFA's own website does not confirm this. Both can't be right. Some reliable documentary source is needed here. Emeraude ( talk) 13:51, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
Think this might just be the EFA being slow at updating their website, given that their official Twitter account mentioned it in January... https://twitter.com/EUPARTYEFA/status/553569993015980032?s=09 94.2.79.252 ( talk) 21:59, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
Non-updated website is what I suspected, but a semi-readable tweet is hardly a reliable source either! Emeraude ( talk) 11:25, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
I'm not entirely sure Yorkshire First is yet an observer in the EFA. I believe, as this tweet suggests, the application will have to be confirmed by the EFA's General Assembly in Germany in April. It has so far only been backed by the EFA bureau. Zcbeaton ( talk) 09:28, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Moved. No opposition, and as a revert of an undiscussed move, it should have just been done. @ Andy M. Wang: why did you list this for discussion? Normally a request at WP:RMT to revert an undiscussed move should be automatically carried out, unless there's very compelling evidence that the new name is correct. The default location for a page is its long term stable title, and if there's a dispute it should stay there until moved via RM. Thanks — Amakuru ( talk) 14:08, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

By now there is so much data and so many boxes of results, similarly to the Liberal party 1989 or the Christian Party, the Yorkshire Party should have a separate page for their election results. I have created a red link and will move relevant information over to new page. Greenleader(2) ( talk) 09:55, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
