Party almost totally unknown, mentioned in some sources only as a party founded by Nicolò Nicolosi. From the page and from the sources, no relevance is revealed either at a regional or national level. Scia Della Cometa (talk) 13:12, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Pact of Sicily was a short-lived political party, but played a role in the decomposition and recomposition of Sicilian regionalist parties. It was established by Nicolosi during his tenure as member of the Chamber of Deputies, thus the party was represented not only in Sicily's Regional Assembly, but also in the Italian Parliament: as such, it is definitely encyclopedic. Every little piece of political history deserves a space in Wikipedia. Articles like this (the nominator proposed a string of AfDs today) should be clearly improved, but not deleted. Of course, the passing of time makes difficult to find more sources and information in the web, but I will do my best to improve the article. I think it should be kept, anyway. At first glance I see proposed deletions as harmful and time-wasting exercises, but hopfully they could become opportunities for improving articles. --Checco (talk) 19:48, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"...played a role in the decomposition and recomposition of Sicilian regionalist parties": can you prove a similar claim? It does not appear that this party has ever been officially represented in any assembly. You know very well that the page cannot be improved. Your assessment of keeping this page is not about the relevance of the page itself, but a position based on the principle that everything can stay on wikipedia. But is not so.--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 20:51, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:GNG. It is only mentioned once in a footnote in a publication about Sicilian politics. Yakme (talk) 08:24, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

Further comment. I hope this article (the fact that its leader was a member of the Chamber of Deputies should be enough to ensure its notability) will be kept, but, otherwise, instead of deleting it and losing its history, what about merging through redirect to New Sicily? --Checco (talk) 13:58, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
