 * Keep There are many references from reliable newspapers at the article. Takes time to gain seats at national or state level, since the party was created recently. Ngrewal1 (talk) 01:45, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , That's my point. This is a case of WP:TOOSOON, maybe notable in future but not now. And also notability is not inherited. Zoodino (talk) 07:08, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The above political party has already received news coverage from many major Indian newspapers and magazines – The Hindu newspaper, Hindustan Times (2 references), Outlook magazine, National Herald and many others. Wide range of news coverage already exists which is independent and verifiable by many reliable sources. WP:N is already met.Ngrewal1 (talk) 21:20, 9 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect with founder Chandrashekhar Azad Ravan. The party has not won any seats, so I agree that it does not deserve its own page for now. This is not enough reason to delete, moreover this may change soon when it gets election victory. There is no reason why a section about this party should not exist on the article of the founder. Following WP:BEFORE#C4, quote "If the topic is not important enough to merit an article on its own, consider merging or redirecting to an existing article. This should be done particularly if the topic name is a likely search term". Indeed this is a valid search term and this article should be merged and redirected to the founder's page. The party has got coverage due to its founder. When the party wins election victory the article can be -recreated from the page history.Walrus Ji (talk) 09:27, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable, good coverage from reliable sources. SUN EYE 1  11:57, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep has received coverage from reliable sources.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 21:21, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * can you please share which multiple significant coverage made you decide "keep", I am genuinely curious to know. --Walrus Ji (talk) 04:21, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep A political party does not need to have seats in a legislature for it to have sufficient influence to warrant an article. As other users have pointed out, this party has been covered by numerous media outlets. LeBron4 (talk) 03:16, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * ,If you click on those links you will find that the party has not been covered significantly in those articles. The founder has been covered with passing mention of the party., your silence leads me to assume that you could not find the sources with significant coverage.
