Delete Please Consider deleting because compare http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/Aam_Aadmi_Party and http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/Aam_Aadmi_Party_(Pakistan) on 10th Feb 2015. This seriously Maligns Aam Aadmi Party's name. I am hoping for a corruption free India. I've read about corruption in wikipedia adminisitration and funds. Some true hearts please support to delete this article or even remove the hatnote on AAP page. Bolterc (talk) 11:21, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep The list provided by the nominator is pointless because it was published in 2013 and the parties were not formed until 2014. They do appear in this later list, for example. There are various issues with the article, including determining the common name and perhaps needing a split because two different parties are contain in one page, but the prima facie evidence is that these things do exist and are recognised by the Election Commission of Pakistan. That they may be jumping on a naming bandwagon that is vaguely connected to the Aam Aadmi Party in India is completely irrelevant: the phrase aam aadmi (meaning common man, and with various transliterated spellings) is common to both countries, as is the endemic corruption that they allegedly campaign against. We have Labour Parties, Socialist Parties, Communist Parties etc in numerous countries - why should this be any different? - Sitush (talk) 14:39, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment This is a question of notability and the guidelines at WP:NGO might be helpful. The article references independent coverage at or around the time of the party's launch, but nothing yet that indicates it has achieved national status. (I notice WP:NGO is marked as disputed or under discussion, and that some voices at Wikipedia talk:Notability (organizations and companies)/Archive 10 would accept regional status if the region was large enough.)

 * Speedy Keep Bad Faith nomination as showed by the reason given Bentogoa (talk) 11:40, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Political motivations and fighting for social justice is not what Wikipedia is about. Blackmane (talk) 00:42, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. The arguments for deletion that have been advanced so far don't appear to have anything to do with whether the Pakistani parties by this name are notable or not. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:12, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
