The result was   delete. There is little discussion, but the article is a unsourced one-sentence stub whose veracity is questioned, so WP:V compels deletion.  Sandstein  04:48, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

This article seems to be based upon a mix-up of names. the name only gives 4 google book hits, which is quite extraordinary for a major armed faction in 1990s. The article probably originates in this book or in What is the What, which seems to confuse this 'EPLA' with the EPRDF. There is a mention here, but it seems to confuse 'EPLA' with the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Army (armed wing of EPRP). The few other mentions of 'EPLA' could probably be explained by these 2 confusions also. Soman (talk) 09:17, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment That sounds like an argument for redirection rather than deletion. Nick-D (talk) 23:21, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy redirect to Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Party with R from incorrect name tagging. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:27, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment, since it is not consequent what the name is used for (both EPRDF and EPRP) I think a deletion is better option. Also, there are only 2 links to the article at the moment, which could be easily removed. --Soman (talk) 07:00, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
