I couldn't find sources to verify it is notable, but I'm aware I may be missing something in a different language. Boleyn (talk) 09:06, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Article expanded somewhat now, and at least it gives an idea of the territoriality of the party and its key demand for merger with Jharkhand state. It appears the party peaked around 1998 and that after Singh withdrew (presumably after the Feb 2005 election), Soren has carried on running it. I'm not able to expand it further at this stage, and in terms of notability the referencing isn't great. Just one angle that I think can be taken into account is the systematic bias, in the sense of a political organization active among tribal communities in a remote area and whose peak period occured at a moment when internet coverage wasn't great. It is well possible that we are missing more material from offline regional print media of the time period. --Soman (talk) 11:48, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A party can demand moon and may claim entire country as their territory but if they are not considered important enough by media to cover or by voters during election, there is no reason to keep it. see WP:ORGDEPTH for more. The regional newspapers, The Telegraph, Times of India, Hindustan and Dainik Jagaran are available online, so claiming BIAS isn't helpful here. Their candidates on an average got a 1000 votes each which again points to the sorry state of the notability of this party. --DBig Xrayᗙ 09:35, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
