The result was delete‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__. I'm going out on a limb and closing this as Delete as there have been two relistings without further participation.

Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar)

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

The Nationalist Congress Party of India has recently undergone a split, forming two factions. The faction led by Ajit Pawar has been recognized by the Indian Election Commission as the legitimate heir to the NCP name. Sharad Pawar's faction has been order to take a new name for upcoming 2024 elections. Since the Sharad Pawar faction no longer has the right to use the NCP name, this article claiming NCP lineage seems to be problematic at best. A new article about the new faction can be started when they've chosen a name, but that new article should not make it appear to still be the NCP.

 * After NCP name and Clock symbol given to Ajit pawar, ECI has given Sharad Pawar faction name "NCP - Sharad Chandra Pawar", so this considers as different political party, like Kerala congress has many factions and name Mahesh Chhanga 78 (talk) 13:59, 7 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Comment The problem is that the article's content refers to the NCP, whose continued existence falls under the Ajit Pawar faction. This new party is a new thing, and while we can note that it devolved from the original NCP, it has to be written about as a new thing, with no history past the 2023 split. Implications that this new thing existed prior to 2023 are incorrect.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:10, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes this page should have only name NCP and original NCP history with president as Ajit pawar and NCP Sharad Chandra Pawar on separate page Mahesh Chhanga 78 (talk) 14:25, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment: What legal rights to a political party's name someone has doesn't matter for Wikipedia. What matters is what reliable sources refer to the party as. The AfD doesn't make a case for deletion, it makes one for renaming the article. Cortador (talk) 14:50, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment In this case, I believe WP:TNT applies. The article is false from its outset. The bulk of the content and citations of the article are about the legitimate Nationalist Congress Party, not this offshoot organization.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:04, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete article can be recreated when whatever name they've chosen is finalized. Oaktree b (talk) 18:13, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Retain: Reliable Sources like The Hindu, Hindustan Times and many other news portal cites that The Election Commission has approved a new name — the ‘Nationalist Congress Party-Sharadchandra Pawar’ — for NCP chief Sharad Pawar’s faction and also sought a ‘banyan tree’ as its election symbol.

 * Comment The point of this deletion discussion (at least my point in initiating it) is not that the new party is not notable, but rather that the article, being an almost verbatim copy of the Nationalist Congress Party article, is completely incorrect and will need to be rewritten from the ground up. If the article is retained, that will still have to happen. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:41, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
