 * Keep. Being unsourced is not a valid deletion rationale, unless the article is a WP:BLP. Article passes WP:GNG/WP:SIGCOV, as examples here:, , , , --Soman (talk) 18:55, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Per WP:GNG: "not all coverage in reliable sources constitutes evidence of notability for the purposes of article creation; for example, directories and databases, advertisements, announcements columns, and minor news stories are all examples of coverage that may not actually support notability when examined, despite their existence as reliable sources."
 * Is not about the party. It is an event concerning Trotsky's death aniversary + some comments by Édgar Sánchez about where leftist parties's ideologies should focus on.
 * Is about the party asking for money to the Guerrero Government for alleged community improvements.
 * Is just about the party being a member of the Socialist Alliance (Mexico) not the party itself (i.e. "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention" per GNG)
 * Is about, allegedly, nominating Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas as their candidate for the 2000 Mexican general election, and I say allegedly because the PRT was never a member of the es:Alianza por México (2000).
 * Starts with a text about the 1970s party and ideology and later seems to mix it with the 1999 version of the PRT.
 * If you think these sources can create an article, go ahead and do it, because these sources serve no purpose here and I still reading a non-notable stub about an alleged notable political party. None of these sources create a real context, they merely prove the party exists and has attempted do be politically active. © Tb hotch ™ (en-3). 19:19, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Plain non-notable based on the referencing on the page and during this discussion. There was another Workers' Revolutionary Party (Mexico). That one looks like a group of imposters. My very best wishes (talk) 04:04, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Wikipedia is not a Gazetteer of political parties. As above, sources only indicate that the party exists rather than giving evidence of achievements prior to, or during, election campaigns. Usefulness is not a valid reason for retaining an article. doktorb wordsdeeds 07:00, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
