Anna Telugu Desam Party

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unclear existence of the party. Never elected a candidate. According to our article, the highest they got to was 1% of votes. Eddie891 Talk Work 20:14, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Parties are not automatically notable for running losing candidates, lack of substantive sources. Reywas92Talk 20:44, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep for now WP:NORUSH. The lack of sources in the article is not a reason for AfD. Sources exist.

 * Seems like Nandamuri Harikrishna or 1999 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election would be appropriate merge targets then. Again, just because a state-level party failed miserably in a single election doesn't mean it needs its own article. Reywas92Talk 23:53, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Merge and Redirect to the founder Nandamuri Harikrishna. In line with WP:5P where WP works as gazetteer, i would prefer to have mention and information of every political party, successful or not, to be included in Wikipedia. They have interlinks with so many election related articles and general politics. For example in here, 0.3 million people did vote for this party. They had 191 candidates in arena. The info is worth mentioning somewhere. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 02:59, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
