 * Comment Well, I don't know. State-level recognized parties should, in my opinion, have a page, whether defunct or not - something like is done with high schools. What do you say? Thanks. Lourdes  05:31, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, I can accept the argument that state-level recognized parties can have articles. But it does not meet WP:GNG in the standard sense, i.e., have at least two reliable sources that significantly cover the topic. (There might be sources that I don't have access to.) I would request the people in the know to improve the article, providing at least the minimal information, such as the dates, office bearers, elections contested etc.. If the article is destined to be a stub for ever, there would not be much point in keeping it. That having said, I am happy to withdraw the nomination for now. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:46, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Another option is to merge it into the article on its more famous namesake Jammu Praja Parishad. It does seem that this party was an effort to revive the old one. So it is not unrelated. Can the commenters please consider this option as well? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 11:00, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * No, I would advice against a merge. The PPJK claimed to represent the legacy of the original JPP, but such claims aren't very authoritative. --Soman (talk) 12:00, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. First of all, notability is not temporary. The party is defunct, but that is not reason for deletion. Unfortunately, this article was not properly referenced when created, and the sources that were used initially are nowadays no longer on-line.

 * Keep It is a State-level recognized political party  .--FITINDIA&#160;(talk) 08:45, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
