Declined prod. Could not find significant coverage to meet WP:ORG. LibStar (talk) 21:55, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Although small, this organisation appears to have played an influential role in campaigning in the 1980s.
- Forging Environmentalism: Justice, Livelihood, and Contested Environments (book) has coverage of KSMTS from page 224 to 234. Although not entirely about KSMTS, an awful lot of it is.
- Studies on the Role of Fishermen's Organizations in Fisheries Management (UN paper) is similarly partially about KSMTS from page 37 to page 40.
- This Ecologist article also appears to bave significant coverage over three pages, but is only available in snippet view on gbooks.
- Interrogating Communalism: Violence, Citizenship and Minorities in South India (ebook) has something non-trivial.
- Grassroots Environmental Action: People's Participation in Sustainable Development (book) talks about the KSMTF specifically from page 238 to page 241 and continues to talk about throughout the rest of that chapter.

If you are searching for sources yourself, I recommend using "KSMTF" as the search term because there is a multitude of ways the full name is rendered. It's also worthwile searching for the English translation of the name – "Kerala Independent Fishworkers Federation". SpinningSpark 12:39, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The sources above show enough notability that the article's subject satisfies WP:GNG and WP:ORGCRIT. I couldn't find much more, but what's listed above seems sufficient for establishing notability. - Aoidh (talk) 08:00, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
