No references have been included for over five years. The references mentioned on the talk page do not refer much to a "Pro-Administration Party" per se, but rather Alexander Hamilton and those who supported him and who later formed the Federalist Party after the Washington Administration. Holdek (talk) 11:17, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support while there was a group called the "Anti-Administration Party", almost no one then or now calls Hamilton's group the "pro-Administration party" . But see Michael Kazin; et al. (2011). The Concise Princeton Encyclopedia of American Political History. Princeton U.P. p. 242. Rjensen (talk) 12:25, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The source you site says that there was an, "Emerging pro-administration party known as the Federalists." Holdek (talk) 21:27, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - unlike the anti-Administration party, I'm not seeing much by way of sources that would suggest such a name for that group of people was/is common-use enough to be notable. Stalwart111 14:18, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Deleting will redline references in lists. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:49, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This is actually a dictionary definition, sort of like "The War Party" or "The Anti-War Party" is used to describe political entities. The political entities should all have encyclopedic coverage, the catch phrase should not. Carrite (talk) 17:05, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
