Oppose This move would violate Wikipedia naming policies as explained at
User talk:Checco and
WP:NC. I have never, ever seen the phrase "Rad Party" used in Canadian politics. This move would make absolutely no sense.

Oppose. The rule on Wikipedia isn't actually "English whenever possible" — it's technically possible to translate both
Bloc Québécois and
Parti Québécois, too, but that would result in absurd titles that nobody on the planet actually uses. The rule is actually that we use whichever name, be it English or French, is more documentably in use for the topic in English-language sources. This is a case where the topic is always referred to as "Parti rouge" in both English and French, so the title has to stay at
Parti rouge.

Oppose. Here I am not even certain the most official party name is Parti rouge. Another name was Parti démocratique. I would need to do a little bit of research to find out what the party members called it. --

Fair use rationale for Image:Can-pol w.jpg
Image:Can-pol w.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under
fair use but there is no
explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the
boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with
fair use.
Please go to
the image description page and edit it to include a
fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at
Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on
criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the
Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
This article was created on May 5, 2004 without references or sources. It has been tagged since November of 2006, but still no one has provied the required references or sources. Given that
Wikipedia:Verifiability "is one of Wikipedia's core content policies," I think that after three years, it is reasonable that if it is not rectified by June 30, 2008, then the article should br deleted as per the
Wikipedia:Deletion policy.

And a few years later, I've added some sources in English too! This must be a hot topic, because a few books relating to pre-Confederation politics have been published over the last year. Must be a Canada 150 thing. --
