Non-notable informal group of members of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom (see All-party parliamentary group). Fails WP:GNG.
There are currently 565 All Party Groups (APGs) in Westminster, and most MPs are members of at least half-a-dozen. These groups rarely get any coverage in mainstream media.
In this case, there is only one ref which could make a non-risible claim to GNG's requirement of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject": a deleted blog entry on ComputerWorld.co.uk, archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20120330152240/https://blogs.computerworlduk.com/open-enterprise/2012/03/urgent-help-defend-a-balanced/index.htm
I doubt that a blog on ComputerWorld is a reliable source, and since this blog entry consists almost entirely of block-quotes from the APG's own website, it is hard to describe it as "significant coverage". BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:17, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

- Delete if it could fail CFD then there is no question that it also fails the criteria for notability. Also agree that there is not enough mainstream coverage. D4iNa4 (talk) 18:23, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
- Delete Agreed with nom and above. Fails WP:GNG, WP:CFD. Removal of trivial grouping of notable people in a non-notable circumstance. Ventric (talk) 20:06, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. NN political talking shop. No official government designation that I know of. Refs don't support gng. Szzuk (talk) 21:27, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
