Tagged as wholly uncited since 2009 and as lacking notability since 2012. Article contains almost no content. Present content makes it impossible to know wether the subject party has ever existed.

@
Geschichte I think you meant to say: this article was created by a veteran, prolific contributor to Wikipedia, who's been recognised as an
Editor of the Week, and who has made invaluable contributions writing articles about political parties throughout the world. :) FWIW you've conflated two Belgian parties with the same name - the PCR of the 1940s which was Trotskyist with the PCR of the 1980s which was Maoist. Regards,

Comment A collection of the party's newspaper (L'Exploité) from 1973 to 2000 is held at the
Amsab Institute of Social History in Gent (published by the RCP's forerunner the PCBML from 1973 to 1976), three mentions of the party in
Pascal Delwit's history of the PTB, from the French language article on Maosim in Belgium
Manuel Abramowicz's "The Radical Left in French-speaking Belgium - Electoral, social and political impact (1965-2004)" (which appears to only be available off-line) it's more than reasonable to assume there is discussion of the RCP in that text, so there's good grounds for
WP:NEXIST. That said, I'm not necessarily arguing for keep here, but I'm against delete, a merge/redirect might be appropriate to
Maoism in Belgium. Regards, --

Merge into
Marxist–Leninist Communist Party of Belgium as a premature SPINOFF. The Revolutionary Communist Party (Belgium) was a split of the Marxist–Leninist Communist Party of Belgium that is mentioned in the parent. Since there is so little content in Revolutionary Communist Party (Belgium), all of the content can be merged into the parent, easing the "user experience from hell" of having to navigate through many articles with snippets of information. The
Communist Struggle (Marxist–Leninist) can also be merged into the parent. All with favorable prejudice on notability, as necessary and long overdue actions of information governance.
