Peoples Students Federation

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Organization with no apparent notability and is completely without sources, particularly those that would indicate its notability. The article largely consists of names of people who may have been associated with it, the majority of whom are also non-notable. Agent 86 (talk) 11:05, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Strong keep: Did you try googling "People's Student Federation"? PSF is the student wing of PPP, one of the largest political parties in the entire world, governing one of the most populous countries worldwide. Article could definately be improved and better referenced, but notability is not the issue here by any means. --Soman (talk) 01:50, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * If you have verifiable sources in accordance with wikipolicies, then add them. Without more, your position is simply an unsupported assertion. As it stands, I see no reason for keeping this article.Agent 86 (talk) 10:54, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - I favor the lowest of all possible bars for the inclusion of articles about political parties and their youth sections, regardless of ideology. Notability per se is fine with me — if it passes verifiability, it should be in, just like we do for highways, villages, high schools, and professional athletes. For some absolutely bizarre reason parties are treated more harshly. I will never understand that. The Pakistan Peoples Party is the political party of the late Benazir Bhutto and this is its youth section. It's a stub and needs work. Keep and improve. Carrite (talk) 05:02, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * You just identified the problem with this article. Not only is there no evidence of notability, the article is completely lacking in any verifiable sources. Other than your own personal belief, there's no evidence that this organization is being treated any differently than any other subject matter. Agent 86 (talk) 10:54, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Have you made any effort to look for such evidence, for example by clicking on the news and book search links spoon-fed above? Phil Bridger (talk) 22:43, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * If the sources exist and meet Wiki policies, great. Then the people so adamant about keeping this article can add them and turn it into something. The onus is on those wanting to keep it to do so. However, it seems that all that has been done to improve the article since I nominated it was to fix a few minor grammatical matters. Agent 86 (talk) 03:05, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep No point deleting a clearly notable topic. There's also an equivalent category for the article, called Category:Peoples Students Federation. I think this article is supposed to act as the main article. Anyways, if something is notable, it should not be deleted. Mar4d (talk) 16:19, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * PS: This is the students wing of the Pakistan Peoples Party, the political party which is currently ruling the country and is the elected government. Deleting this article is not a good idea. It just needs some improvement. Mar4d (talk) 16:22, 12 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Other than your say so, what evidence is there that this is a "clearly notable" topic? Not one verifiable source has been provided, here or in the article, supporting the mere assertion that this is a notable organization.Agent 86 (talk) 08:19, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
