Veterans Party of America | Result: ?[edit]

An utterly irrelevant third party that went bust sometime after 2019, and got less votes than the fucking Legal Marijuana Now Party A somebody. (talk) 23:56, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
If we had a page for political parties of the United States, then we could merge some of the more relevant parts of this article with that. Given that we have no such article, however, it's probably better off being deleted. Sincerely, Postuhenin the neurodivergent doodlebug! (say hi! ^^) 01:55, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
No longer in operation , delete. Intelligentguy (talk) 13:52, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Pointless article , unless we want to open a can of worms for an article on political parties US. Delete Bookability (talk) 13:55, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Not worth preserving. —cosmikdebris ^talk stalk 15:39, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

This article is shit even after nearly a decade.This article is about an irrelevant youtube video that was watched by only 50, 000 people Reichtangle (talk) 11:26, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Why do we have an article on this? it has 50,000 views and nobody seems to care about this guy if his the view count of a couple dozen people on his latest videos are to be believed. A somebody. (talk) 22:33, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Well, it's missional in the sense that it exposes a bullshit screed as being, well, bullshit. Old woo is still woo. Luigifan18 (talk) 00:10, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

This article was nominated before, with only one vote for delete. I do wonder why this place has become so much more willing to delete articles recently. Christopher (talk) 17:46, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
The community and standards of RationalWiki have changed. A somebody. (talk) 22:33, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
No wonder there are so many stubs from the Late 2000's and early 2010's ←§ Reichtangle (talk) 02:33, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Just a collection of bullet points and unfunny snark with very little context and no references. Derivative of Good old days and Family values. —cosmikdebris ^talk stalk 16:19, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
Our page on Tradition is summoning most of this page aswell. Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 17:40, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
Supremely unfunny and I have no idea why a defunct New Zealand environmentalist party is in the article. A somebody. (talk) 20:40, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
Not remotely funny , lacks reference also , bin. Teriyaki12 (talk) 13:40, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
Delete this article , lacks any relevance.DecemberRebmeced (talk) 12:37, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

There probably is a line to be drawn between "traditional values" and "family values", though I'm not sure if conservatives who abuse the terms would bother. In any case, yeah, this page could use some more improvements. Luigifan18 (talk) 21:36, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
I like it. I want to keep it. It’s rationale. New world (talk) 20:10, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Merge with Appeal to tradition, put in redirect. The latter could do with some work too. But as usual with me, the original page must remain until this is done right. So consider this in a straight Delete/Keep fight as a vote for Keep [for now]. KarmaPolice (talk) 17:50, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
I second the motion to merge and redirect. It does seem to me like there are certain parts of this article could be salvaged, if properly cleaned up with some spit and polish. Sincerely, Postuhenin the neurodivergent doodlebug! (say hi! ^^) 20:45, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Merge and redirect to Appeal to Tradition. FriendlySocDem (talk) 01:30, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Merge with tradition sounds good to me RTD (talk) 11:23, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

I've removed the snark that was added today, unfortunately quality edits added alongside the snark were removed. Ioe bidome (talk) 21:36, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
Votes are 5-2-5, with 7 in favor of keeping the content in some form, so it's not a consensus in favor of deletion. Plutocow (talk) 18:16, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
'Change must have a majority vote' - those five merge/redirects are a de facto vote for 'keep for now', so I would say the motion fails. And as it's been open over a month, time to pull the plug? KarmaPolice (talk) 18:35, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Perhaps, though you could also argue that the merge option succeeds as the middle ground, as there are 7 votes for the content existing in some form but 10 against it staying in its current form. Plutocow (talk) 18:55, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
We're kinda stuck until somebody makes a decent attempt to merge it into 'appeal to tradition'. KarmaPolice (talk) 19:05, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
