Indian National Congress campaign for the next Indian general election

Delete: The article contains extravagant information which is irrelevant to the topic. Besides many items of information are not cited with reliable sources. I hope the administrators will take proper decision based on policies. XYZ 250706 (talk) 07:15, 9 March 2023 (UTC)


 * I think there should be only one article containing campaigns of major political parties in India. XYZ 250706 (talk) 07:19, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * This article falls under WP:TOOSOON and fails WP:GNG. XYZ 250706 (talk) 07:25, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Two major sections - Political Affairs Group and Task Force-2024 contain no citation. Besides the items of information in this article are different from campaigning. XYZ 250706 (talk) 08:01, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * The article still needs WP:TNT and as all of the materials in the article are off topic, the article should be properly rewritten and should be merged into an article Campaigning for 2024 Indian general election. XYZ 250706 (talk) 08:12, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep - whilst it might seem WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTALBALL, I'm not sure there is really a valid reason to delete. There are lots of high quality sources, presumably they are only going to increase. I don't like the title fwiw, and I don't envy anyone trying to write about this in a neutral way.

 * Keep - Though the article seems as WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTALBALL, there is no valid reason to delete it as source there is WP: Reliable. I think that the article needs some improvement.
 * Comment - I have no opinion on the AfD, but will note here for transparency that appears to have approached at least two editors on their talk pages regarding this AfD: Special:Diff/1144227404, Special:Diff/1144227430. -Ljleppan (talk) 13:37, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Ljleppan I have told them to put their neutral opinion. Besides one of them (a member of Wikiproject Indian politics) has edited this page several times before and other editors who actively takes part in such discussions and is a renowned Wikipedia article reviewer.

 * Comment: re: canvassing, you're new to AFD so you should get some grace on this, but what you did above was canvassing. It didn't impact the AFD, but this should not be repeated for any reason. Your intent may have been innocent, but you crossed a line regardless of your wording.  // Timothy :: talk  11:55, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep: and move to an appropriate page title. I rm the unsourced content, BLPs should be listed as members of political groups, committees, etc only with clearly RS to prevent abuse. Its too soon for the article, but it will be probably be notable at some point. A keep here shouldn't reflect on any future AFD, if the article is not expanded and properly referenced, it should be deleted and an unnesseary fork.  // Timothy :: talk  11:41, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: But if we see the current condition of the article, it is not ready to be published in Wikipedia. Should not we add or merge it to an article which will contain campaigning of major political parties in India? XYZ 250706 (talk) 15:22, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * There are lots of stubs with just a paragraph. Its an unfortunate fact of Wikipedia  // Timothy :: talk  15:37, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: I'm not seeing a policy-based reason for deletion here. It's early, certainly, and I wouldn't waste my time writing about this; but there's coverage and the eventual notability is not in question. I'm not seeing a problem with the title either; when the election date is confirmed, moving makes sense, but not before. Vanamonde (Talk) 15:52, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
