Kerala Swatantra Matsya Thozhilali Federation

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Declined prod. Could not find significant coverage to meet WP:ORG. LibStar (talk) 21:55, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Although small, this organisation appears to have played an influential role in campaigning in the 1980s.
 * Forging Environmentalism: Justice, Livelihood, and Contested Environments (book) has coverage of KSMTS from page 224 to 234. Although not entirely about KSMTS, an awful lot of it is.
 * Studies on the Role of Fishermen's Organizations in Fisheries Management (UN paper) is similarly partially about KSMTS from page 37 to page 40.
 * This Ecologist article also appears to bave significant coverage over three pages, but is only available in snippet view on gbooks.
 * Interrogating Communalism: Violence, Citizenship and Minorities in South India (ebook) has something non-trivial.
 * Grassroots Environmental Action: People's Participation in Sustainable Development (book) talks about the KSMTF specifically from page 238 to page 241 and continues to talk about throughout the rest of that chapter.
 * If you are searching for sources yourself, I recommend using "KSMTF" as the search term because there is a multitude of ways the full name is rendered. It's also worthwile searching for the English translation of the name – "Kerala Independent Fishworkers Federation". SpinningSpark 12:39, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep - The sources above show enough notability that the article's subject satisfies WP:GNG and WP:ORGCRIT. I couldn't find much more, but what's listed above seems sufficient for establishing notability. - Aoidh (talk) 08:00, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
