Bundelkhand ekikrit party

This article has no references to review so I searched a few Indian newspaper archives for both "Bundelkhand and Pandey" and "Ekikrit" identified nothing related. I think it's fair to say that a political party that isn't mentioned AT ALL in these major newspapers is not notable, Bongomatic (talk) 09:19, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, along with related articles Sanjay pandey and Bundelkhand Mukti Morcha, all of which seem to be political advocacy masquerading as encyclopedic content. If anyone (other than the article creator) knows about the movement for statehood in Bundelkhand and whether it's notable, I'd love to hear it. AlexTiefling (talk) 10:57, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, not sure if Bundelkhand Mukti Morcha fits the bill. Found an article in The Hindu about it.

Keep, found mention in one major newspaper (ttp://203.197.197.71/99928.aspx) and came across this photo (http://photos.merinews.com/bigImage.do?imageID=6560&method=RecentBrief). The photo is obviously posted by the same guy who's promoting the party at wikipedia, but the crowd looks quite sizeable and it seems the BEP isn't just an internet hoax. --Soman (talk) 17:20, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unable to navigate to the news article referenced by IP address. As mentioned in the AfD page for Sanjay Pandey, Merinews appears to be a "community-based" news service (i.e., user-supplied content is the norm). Bongomatic (talk) 22:04, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the article seems to be down at the moment, see google cache. As per merinews, i did state that the posting was done by the same person that did the wikipedia article, but that the photo itself seems to indicate at least a degree of notability. --Soman (talk) 05:38, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For some reason I can't see the cache. However, the picture doesn't show 3,000 people (nor would 3,000 people of whom some are carrying a banner for a particular cause demonstrate notability anyway) and the source is as mentioned and agreed suspect.

Comment, I seem to have misspellt the name in Hindi. Searching [1] gives a few hits, although most many refer to the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified). http://www.rajexpress.in/newsindetail.htm?newsId=24276&slotId=122 is an entire article dedicated to the party. --Soman (talk) 20:07, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP, I searched many news papers and news portals of India and search results appeal in favour of Bundelkhand Ekikrit Party for its notability —Preceding unsigned comment added by Udditeli (talk • contribs) 09:43, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Note to the closing admin, there appears to be several sock-puppets taking part in this AfD. --Soman (talk) 11:08, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
