Err no, I don't think so. --Java Beauty (talk) 01:30, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
- This could be deleted on the ground of being SOP for the first sense, but not for the second sense (“let's get this done”), unless we add a figurative sense to the noun party as meaning something like “(intense) action”, “where it’s at”. This sense is seen e.g. here where it refers to military action in the Korean War, and also in the idiom “the party is somewhere else” (meaning that “the place to be” – wherever that may be – is not “here”), of which I found several uses (e.g. here), but not durably archived ones. --Lambiam 06:42, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
- Keep sense 2: I think there’s enough of a figurative sense. — SGconlaw (talk) 06:46, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
- Keep sense 2: fig. use - Sonofcawdrey (talk) 19:38, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
- Keep as it is an idiom, and not related to parties! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:50, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Well done! Add this to the phrasebook project, please. - Dentonius (my politics | talk) 17:58, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

- Reopened and delete sense 1. There was in my opinion no basis for deciding to keep sense 1.

Probably delete I think we're reading too much into the words. We're gonna start the party! We gotta get this party started!:: It's very context dependent and tone of voice, exclamation mark, etc. "Ok, let's get this party started, he said half-heartedly." Maybe pick one phrase like start the party and redirect others there? Facts707 (talk) 22:45, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, delete sense 1; keep sense 2. — SGconlaw (talk) 07:07, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
Deleted the first sense (although it could probably have a line for non-idiomatic usage), kept the second. DAVilla 02:27, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
