Grand Democratic Secular Front

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The article is about a coalition which was formed on 8 October 2020 and does not have enough coverage to meet the general notability guidelines let alone those on organisations. There is also a lot of original research leading to inaccuracies. For instance, it was formed with the merger of two alliances whereas it refers to one of them as it's former name (UDSA). Even if we were to consider either or both of the former alliances to be contributing towards it's notablity, the coverage still is not sufficient to meet guidelines.

 * Merge to 2020_Bihar_Legislative_Assembly_election seems appropriate to me. Reywas92Talk 16:54, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

 * KeepJust seen its coverage.No its notable and seems to have more coverage until now. Also it may expand in future following elections result.Though i have not seen WP:OR related issue....but if they exist that can be removed. Also in 2020 Bihar Assembly Election this should be written as third front besides NDA and UPA as 6 parties are involved and media is reporting that they constitute third front. A LOT of news regarding it is there.Heba Aisha (talk) 02:04, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ Keep : as per Heba Aisha. --  Manasbose   (talk &#124; contribs) 04:34, 12 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep per wide coverage in reliable sources including The Hindu, a Newspaper of record. Inaccuracies can be fixed. Bearian (talk) 15:18, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , could I ask you for examples of this wide coverage? Tayi Arajakate  Talk 01:14, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment, just to clarify on my nomination. Most of the coverage that the alliance has received is regarding its formation, usually bundled with other alliances that exist in the concerned election. There is otherwise a lack of any significant in-depth coverage, the kind of, one would require for a corporation, organisation or political party or coalition would require to be considered notability per WP:ORG. Many of the parties in the alliances themselves are notable but that doesn't make a transient alliance like this notable too, and not to mention notability is not inherited. I have otherwise also cleaned up the article a bit in case it survives this AfD. Tayi Arajakate  Talk 15:39, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep it is a significant alliance and do not fulfill criteria for delition.Many useless articles are on wikipedia which are not nominated even though they are not notable.But significant pressure is given on its religion meanwhile many other editors are not in favour of delition its only a concern of a particular editor.Heba Aisha (talk) 03:03, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Also the user who nominated this for delition is deliting the candidate list and other related stuff from 2020 Bihar Assembly election page meanwhile keeping small parties like Lok Janshakti Party.An Rfc is there on talk page Talk:2020 Bihar Legislative Assembly election where brother has not given a satisfactory reply about the same.Many other editor wanted its inclusion and to keep this article.I would like to tag and  who are among those who want to keep it and include its candidates in 2020 assembly page as it is a bigger alliance than LJP.Heba Aisha (talk) 03:16, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I have already adequately explained why I've done so on the concerned page and not to mention this isn't the page to bring it up. Also I'm not a "brother".
 * Regarding the AfD itself, the alleged existence of "other useless articles" or your presumptions of a local consensus does not override community guidelines. Tayi Arajakate  Talk 04:21, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Note: I've struck the second keep !vote by Heba Aisha. Tayi Arajakate  Talk 04:29, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I've already pointed out what I see is clearly significant coverage. I'm not replying to sea lions. Bearian (talk) 17:43, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , are you seriously accusing me of sea-lioning for asking you one question about what you find to be "examples of wide coverage"? The article as it stood at the time you made your comment had one citation with the The Hindu as the publisher, a citation which did not even mention the alliance. The only coverage that I can find in The Hindu which does mention the alliance is the following one:

 * It's an article about developments in the pre-election campaign which includes the formation of the alliance and is bundled with other developments. Otherwise, I have not found any coverage of it in from the newspaper in particular and from what I understand most others have the same degree of coverage, a report about its formation.

Hi You are right. There is 100 of source on google which covers it. Searching it on google gives hundreds of results. Heba Aisha (talk) 12:13, 20 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep Sufficient coverage per WP:SIGCOV to establish notability.   scope_creep Talk  12:52, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
