 * Comment The page claims this party has representation in a state legislature which would likely contribute to this being a notable party if true. AusLondonder (talk) 19:57, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment, the party is clearly notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia article. Nevertheless, not sure how to deal with the Communist Marxist Party article after the split. Are we to consider the original CMP defunct and that there are 2 wholly separate parties in existence or is one of the 2 factions to be considered continuation of the original CMP? --Soman (talk) 20:45, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - Party has one elected legislator. Beyond that, I am of the belief that we should automatically keep all articles on political parties, their leaders, and their youth sections regardless of size or political ideology. This is exactly the sort of material that our users have a right to expect in a comprehensive encyclopedia. is our resident expert on political parties of the developing world, and the question of split articles v. merge is best left in his capable hands.
