Political Parties in Sikkim

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Procedural nomination on behalf of an IP editor. Their reasons are:

WP:V: No sources whatsoever, borders on OR and even if it isn't, the article's primary subject being Indian political parties would require it cites its sources since WP:NOTBLUE would apply, if such knowledge is obvious to readers in India (and then, WP:PARIS could also be valid). Also, I don't know if I'm abusing the criteria, but this falls remarkably short of WP:DIRECTORY. No context, no additional information about linked articles. This needs to be thoroughly checked, along with other topic articles (ex. Elections in Sikkim) and other articles by the creator who has been warned multiple times about creating unsourced articles. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 14:44, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

I have no personal opinion on the matter. Reyk YO! 14:41, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn Article still fails WP:V but it could be made into something viable so will let time do the rest. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 04:14, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep, completely legit article subject, that can easily be expanded with prose. Remember that Sikkim was an independent state with a number of political parties prior to integration with India. --Soman (talk) 07:44, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep article needs to be written properly with small description and sources for each political party. D4iNa4 (talk) 18:12, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. I believe the page does have potential and can be useful for anyone interested in Sikkim politics. But it has a long way to go. Instead of it being a stray list with minimal, if any, context, every current and former party should have at least a cursory explanation regarding their history, accomplishments, political stances (economic, social, legal, governmental, etc.), and notable people (such as elected officials). Once this page is given greater expansion and more details, then it can be more maximally useful than it currently is. Mungo Kitsch (talk) 04:25, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
