Apparently there was a NSW party of the same or similar name to this one but it was completely unrelated and so doesnt belong in this article. St Anselm (talk) 10:37, 21 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Onetwothreeip: (it's better to have the discussion here), you said "We consider all registered political parties in Australia to be notable. It's common practice for us to put together parties of the same name in the same article, and information about similarly named parties in articles about a party." Who is the "we"? Is it Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian politics? Can you point me to a guideline (or even a discussion), about putting parties of the same name in the same article? It seems dubious to me, since (a) it goes against the Wikipedia principle of having disambiguation pages for names, but articles for things, (b) it's contradictory, since if all parties are notable there is no need to combine them, and (c) it goes against the current structure of Australian political parties, where we have both United Australia Party and United Australia Party (South Australia), etc. St Anselm (talk) 21:03, 21 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

You can make a separate article if you want. It's just not appropriate to remove the content from here. Onetwothreeip (talk) 00:29, 22 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Why not? St Anselm (talk) 00:32, 22 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

You didn't have consensus to remove it, but I would support if you want to make it into an article. Onetwothreeip (talk) 00:36, 22 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

OK, I will create the article today. St Anselm (talk) 00:52, 22 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Done. St Anselm (talk) 01:47, 22 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

@StAnselm: WP:NCPP says no such thing. Onetwothreeip (talk) 10:20, 22 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

"If two parties from different countries have identical names, then the name of the country could be put in parentheses..." We disambiguate by country to distinguish it from the other articles listed at National Alliance. There is no other "National Alliance" in Australia. St Anselm (talk) 10:32, 22 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

They don't have identical names, and even then it says "could". Onetwothreeip (talk) 10:40, 22 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
