The following sources, which include the most reliable authorities on the topic all give the name of the party as Nationalist Party.

  • Brendan Lynn. (1997) Holding the Ground: The Nationalist Party in Northern Ireland, 1945-1972. Aldershot: Ashgate.
  • CAIN [1]
  • BBC [2]
  • Ark [3]
  • David Boothroyd. - Politico's Guide to the History of British Political Parties
  • James Knight - The Local government elections of 1973
  • Flackes and Elliott - Northern Ireland A political directory
  • The official results sheets themselves where candidates provided the descriptions themselves.

Accordingly I suggest we stick to that name. Valenciano 12:46, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The term Nationalist Party was in common usage when refering to them, just as provisional and official Sinn Féin was used in relation to those parties none of them ever used the name officially though.--padraig3uk 12:55, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Padraig, the party *did* use it officially. They ran candidates in 1973 under the name 'Nationalist Party' and that's why journalistic sources have them listed that way. I'll be happy to scan and email you the actual official copies of the results if you want. Valenciano 13:03, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The Alliance Party of Northern Ireland is refered to as Alliance or Alliance Party on ballot papers and results, that dosent change the name of that party, same with the Green Party in Northern Ireland is refered to as the the Green Party, so that dosent prove anything.--padraig3uk 13:11, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Can you produce a single source which we can see online that shows that the party itself or any contemporary journalistic source described it as 'National Party of Northern Ireland' ?? Valenciano 13:13, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
