 Delete Selective merge to Kolkata Knight Riders -Notability not asserted despite a plethora of links. Has all the hallmarks of paid advocacy, but is not necessarily so.
 * Reference 1 discusses the exclusion of Ganguly, but nowhere mentions anything about the group.(Is relevant to the background section).
 * Reference 2 is offline.The short title does not suggest any link with the group.
 * Reference 3 contains material about the group but in all probability fails WP:RS.
 * Reference 4 is stale and non-rcoverable.
 * Reference 5 contains material about the group but in all probability fails WP:RS esp. when it asks citizen journalists to write it's own news!
 * Reference 6 is gathered from a Facebook source. Fails WP:RS.
 * Reference 7 discusses the exclusion of Ganguly, but nowhere mentions anything about the group.
 * Reference 8 discusses the hindrance caused by other teams to the intention of late-inclusion exclusion of Ganguly by a particular IPL squad, but nowhere mentions anything about the group.It is cited in the signature campaign section, to the effect that it was their signature campaign that lead to the meeting but the report nowhere mentions it!
 * Reference 9 contains strong material about the group but in all probability fails WP:RS as could be perceived from the amateur reporting. Also like Ref. 5 it has a feature allowing common public to submit reports of incidents which is probably the case here!
 * Reference 10 is seemingly the most reliable reference and passes WP:RS.But, again the article does not even hints about the slightest mention of the group!
 * Reference 11 is also similarly reliable and passes WP:RS.And is probably the lone article across the web discussing about the group.
 * Reference 12 is stale.
 * Reference 13 comes not only from the same website in Ref-9 but also from the same reporter in the same tone, containing strong material about the group but fails WP:RS.

Basically, the entire article is about a fan-club,evidenced in a single verifiable source. Further the article uses sources which are dubious regarding the activities of the group but uses perfectly reliable sources for justification of general incidents.

 * Delete Once you chop out two-thirds of this material per WP:NOTFANSITE, you're left with one threat of protest by sports fans, written by Press Trust of India and republished in a couple places as well as Reference #11, the "lone" reference. That doesn't convince me of WP:GNG. is wrong insofar as Facebook's Ganguly fans plan protest march is still online. This content belongs elsewhere as there's no rationale for a standalone article.

 * Merge to Kolkata Knight Riders: Subject fails both, WP:ORG and WP:NEVENT. There are however some one-time coverage of the incident/controversy here, and it could very well be summarised into target article.
 * I agree that contents of the article under discussion belong somewhere else, probably into Kolkata Knight Riders? Anup   [Talk]  19:59, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Nope. . I'm just supporting deletion from now on when the case merits. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 20:22, 18 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Selective Merge to Kolkata Knight Riders, which presently has no mention of this protest group and its actions. A relatively brief synopsis of this group at the merge target article will serve to improve that article by making it more comprehensive and up-to-date. This is congruent with providing an accurate encyclopedia for Wikipedia's readers, which is one of the most important aspects of Wikipedia. North America1000 07:07, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
