New political party stubs

@Rh0809 and David O. Johnson: Can I suggest that no articles on new minor political parties are created prior to the upcoming elections unless there is polling that suggests the party will win seats? Prior to the last few elections we had a rash of articles on no hopers like Liberal–Economic Power, New Liberal Party (2019 party), New Horizon (political party), Me and You - The Israeli People's Party etc. Likewise, I would suggest no articles should be created on alliances until they are 100% confirmed as competing and likely to win seats, to avoid another United Jewish Home.

I agree. I'll hold off on creating any alliance articles, per your reasoning. Thanks. David O. Johnson (talk) 18:50, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

I concure that not every party that exists should get an article, however, I believe that it is justified to create parties led by notable public figures who consistently make it on to polling data. This includes the parties of Shelah and Zelikha, but excludes the Freedom Party which was once known as Liberal-Economic Power. If we exclude parties that do not win seats, then why have an article on Otzma Yehudit. They are consistently below the threshold and do not come close to winning seats. Shelah and Zelikha, however, may indeed be in teh next knesset, with their parties joining either Huldai, Gantz, Lapid or someone else. Rh0809 (talk) 14:56, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

I haven't seen any polls where Shelah's party actually wins seats in a poll, though; that's the difference. Otzma has held seats in the Knesset before. David O. Johnson (talk) 20:35, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

(e/c) Otzma had two seats in the Knesset for some time and numerous polls showed it winning seats in the 2013 elections, so it would have still had an article. Number 57 20:40, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

So we ended up with two articles on parties that didn't even contest the election. I've redirected them both to the articles on their respective founders. Number 57 16:35, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Are Israeli sources reliable? This editor suggested no, in declining to publish an article

An editor has suggested Draft:StopAntisemitism.org that sources that are Israeli or Jewish newspapers are of questionable reliability. --2603:7000:2143:8500:7913:1C16:7EF2:49A9 (talk) 05:01, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
