While looking at those discussions, I found all of them weren't kept. Besides that, the number of votes or seats doesn't make the subject pass WP:BRANCH or WP:ORG. The Telangana unit of Bharatiya Janata Party almost has no presence in the state legislative assembly or state legislative council. Akhiljaxxn (talk) 04:48, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment: Firstly, "almost has no" doesn't mean none. And the state unit won 4 out of 17 Lok Sabha seats in 2019 (compared to 9 and 3 of TRS and INC). Secondly, the state unit got substantial media coverage nationally which itself is enough to pass WP:GNG. -- Manasbose (talk | edits) 07:51, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think it passes WP:BRANCH. There is significant national coverage in India. This is also a topic of value to people outside India, because it can hold detail not appropriate to a national article on the BJP. It needs to be remembered that Telangana is significantly different from other parts of modern India, being part of a formerly independent state annexed by India in 1948, and where there was a long-running insurgency war directed against the Indian armed forces after annexation.-- Toddy1 (talk) 12:22, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This is not a separate state party but a geographical wing of Bharatiya Janata Party and clearly WP:BRANCH should be applicable and the article does not pass its criteria to merit a standalone article. Most sources are passing mentions or WP:ROUTINE coverage of political events.— Akhiljaxxn (talk) 04:53, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment:Have you read those articles I just mentioned above? Those are editorial articles and not WP:ROUTINE. -- Manasbose (talk | edits) 07:19, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You also have to read the policies you cite. WP:BRANCH says that individual chapters of national and international organisations can be notable if "they are substantially discussed by reliable independent sources that extend beyond the chapter's local area", which is the case here. That is why it is significant that coverage is at national level.-- Toddy1 (talk) 12:11, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
