This article on a political party in Armenia has had no sources for the last five years. A BEFORE on JSTOR, Google Books, and Google News fails to find any mentions in either the English or Armenian spellings other than a single line in a directory [1]. A review of Armenian parliamentary election results since its supposed founding seems to show it's never won an election (it's also not entirely clear if it's even contested an election). The article was created by a user whose name is identical to the party's founder - Mikayel.amirkhanyan. Chetsford (talk) 16:50, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – As per nom. I can only find primary sources for this (its website, mainly), and there is not any evidence that this party has even contested any single Armenian election. Nonetheless, I did a little research on my own and it looks that even the article on the Armenian wiki is similarly flawed: no secondary sourcing and creation by an user named after the party's leader at 12:49, 31 March 2006 (note that the English-wiki article was created at 12:23, 31 March 2006). The creator's account contribution history shows that this is likely a SPA trying to increase this party's notability using Wikipedia as a means to get it, having been last active 11 years ago. This article does not meet GNG, and it looks like an obvious case of SOAP. Actually, I do not know how this article has endured so much time without getting deleted.
