The Peel Club moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to The Peel Club. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and Needs sources other than The Peel Club. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Paul W (talk) 14:27, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Paul, thank you for pointing me in the right direction here, sorry for that. I have now redone the article with the addition of third-party, external sources, and linked them appropriately to each section or keyword. I will delete this draft and resubmit the new draft which I cannot seem to merge with this one. Thank you again. Chris Hellenistic accountant (talk) 16:02, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Paul W could you adjudicate the outstanding page deletion mediation on The Peel Club? I improved the sources as you requested on the first version that you parked in Draftspace. Thanks Hellenistic accountant (talk) 15:16, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Hellenistic accountant. I have already contributed to the deletion discussion. Like others, I think the sourcing still needs to be improved. Best wishes. Paul W (talk) 16:54, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thank you for the most recent updates Paul, you've greatly improved the page and amended my formatting errors. Please excuse the clumsiness throughout this process, it's my first article. Are you now satisfied with the page and agree to it avoiding deletion? Thanks Hellenistic accountant (talk) 12:44, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul W Hellenistic accountant (talk) 12:45, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Hellenistic accountant. Apart from its name, the 19th century Glasgow incarnation of the Peel Club is completely unrelated to the modern club formed in 2024. I have just added a comment in the deletion discussion to this effect. Let's see what other editors think. Paul W (talk) 13:06, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Paul, per the sources provided extensively to support, the club serves exactly the same purpose and the website even states it claims continuity. In the Talk page I gave a legal caselaw on how the test was met for a legitimate claim which the newer club satisfies on all points from copyright to historical documents. Furthermore, the GUCA actually made an error in their page, because the founding document in "Proceedings of The Peel Club 1836" shows it incorporated as "The Peel Club" and not just "Peel Club". The case was made in the talk space that actually every criteria was met, and the association between both clubs was legitimate, and yet a main page with direct UK Parliament citation sources and from university of glasgow was deleted outright, and not even moved to draft, is a rather shocking move that was wholly undue. That undermines entirely the motives of the editors in harsh pursuit of the article due to my inexperienced techniques with formatting etc. As it happens, the history uncovered by the page was arguably nationally important given the two Prime Ministers it involved and worthy of its own formal research commission. None of the contesting editors actually checked the full details of the links, the article nor read my remarks on "reasons for making this change". The deletion arose flippantly and by an editor whose history shows he is a bounty hunter seeking page deletions and kills hundreds per week. I am appealing this outcome and requesting review of all parties. Hellenistic accountant (talk) 21:51, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Follow up argument previously ignored in the Talk page:

In conclusion, the 2024 Peel Club should be considered a legitimate re-establishment of the original Peel Club (1836-1852) based on historical continuity, legal principles, the expiration of copyright, the use of historical documents, and modern audience acceptance. The new club preserves the original mission and activities, making it a direct successor in both spirit and function. Legal and cultural recognition of this continuity supports the argument that the 2024 Peel Club is not an unrelated entity but rather a revival and continuation of the original club.

• Original Mission and Values: The 1836 Peel Club was founded to promote conservative political views and honour the legacy of Sir Robert Peel, a prominent Conservative politician. The 2024 Peel Club has explicitly adopted the same mission and values, aligning itself with the original objectives.

• Activities and Purpose: The new Peel Club performs the same tasks as the original, such as hosting discussions, fostering political debate, and promoting conservative ideals. This continuity of purpose demonstrates that the new club is not a totally unrelated entity but rather a continuation of the original mission.

• Consistency in Public Representation: The 2024 Peel Club actively represents itself as the revival of the original club, consistently referencing its historical roots, mission, and activities in its public communications and events.

• Cultural Recognition: The acceptance by contemporary audiences, members, and the public as the same club indicates that, in practice and perception, the 2024 Peel Club functions as a direct continuation of the original. This cultural and social validation strengthens the claim of continuity.

• Legal Precedents in Organizational Law: Courts and legal frameworks have historically recognized that organizations can be revived or re-established after periods of dormancy, especially when they maintain the same mission, values, and activities. For example, many political parties, social clubs, and cultural organizations have been re-established after long periods of inactivity and are legally considered the same entity due to their continuity of purpose and mission.

• Common Law Principles: The common law often respects the intent and purpose of organizations and their founders. By continuing the original mission, the 2024 Peel Club respects the foundational principles laid out by the original Peel Club, thus supporting its claim as a re-establishment.

• Historical Archives: The new club’s access to and use of these archives demonstrates a direct connection to the original Peel Club. The documents not only provide a historical foundation but also guide the new club in maintaining the original club’s identity and purpose.

• Direct Lineage of Ideas: By adopting the same documents and founding principles, the 2024 Peel Club establishes itself as the rightful successor. The presence of these documents creates a direct ideological and historical link between the two clubs, further supporting the case that they are the same entity reborn.

• Copyright Expiry: Under copyright law, works published in the 19th century are now in the public domain. This means any writings, symbols, or other intellectual property created by the original Peel Club (1836-1852) are no longer protected by copyright. Therefore, the 2024 club is free to use these materials without legal infringement.

• Use of Historical Documents: The 2024 Peel Club utilizes an archive of historical documents from Sir Robert Peel and the original club. These documents, now in the public domain, provide legitimacy to the 2024 club’s claim of continuity. By aligning their mission, values, and activities with these historical materials, the new club roots itself in the legacy of the original.

Hi, Hellenistic accountant. I replied to you earlier on my user Talk page, trying to summarise the process. Note: the "history uncovered by the page" may be interesting but could be original research (WP:OR). Please also note: accusing editors of being "flippant" or being "a bounty hunter" may contravene Wikipedia guidelines on personal attacks (WP:NOPA). Paul W (talk) 22:12, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Duly noted about sounding accusative, by flippant I merely mean the dictionary definition as "hasty decision without serious consideration", so that is ok and quite appropriate, but I do retract the 'bounty hunter' remark which is unsuitable. Cheers. Hellenistic accountant (talk) 22:45, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains underway. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you. Liz ^{Read!
