Nikhil Utkal Adivasi Congress

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Minor political party that contested one election. No indication of significance - borderline A7 IMO. No sources located to indicate any significance outside of that, and no native-language name to search. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 05:06, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep - I'll try to beef up the article with some additional refs over the coming 48 hours. There isn't a lot of material (tribal politics in Orissa in 1950s isn't very well covered by online refs...). But in the meantime, the party was represented in national parliament per https://loksabha.nic.in/members/partyardetail.aspx?party_code=88&lsno=1 and thus passes WP:NPOL. --Soman (talk) 13:29, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
 * NPOL doesn't actually cover organizations, it covers people. There's nothing in there about automatic notability for political parties, which still have to hit NORG/GNG. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 14:00, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Isn't the overwhelming consensus that parties represent in national parliaments and/or state legislatures are sufficiently notable? --Soman (talk) 15:02, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Like most SNGs/deletion precedents, I think that's generally based on the assumption that topics which meet a certain threshold will have substantial sources about them. But of course that's not always the case. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 15:59, 21 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep Since the party members who served in the national legislature are notable (and should have articles, but might not, we have atrociousy low coverage of all national legislatures outside the US, UK and maybe a few other European countries, horrible for most parts of Africa and Asia), then the organization would seem to meet default notability guidelines as well.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:33, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
