:({{Find sources AFD|title=Uttar Bhartiya Vikas Sena}})

The only notability this new political party has is that it seeks to present an imprisoned gangster, Lawrence Bishnoi, as a political candidate. This is very recent news. All of the sources are either about that or about Bishnoi himself. None has any significant coverage of either the party or of Shukla, the founder of the party. Although not relevant to the notability of the party, I'm very curious as to why the party would sponsor a convicted murderer as a candidate for the Indian Assembly election.

• Delete per WP:SOAP. We’re not a directory of, nor a newsletter about every minor new party or ideological faction. The sources are suspect, as typical lately. Bearian (talk) 18:54, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
• Delete. The sources that discuss the party's contacting Lawrence Bishnoi all say essentially the same thing, and are almost certainly based on the same press release – and even if they were written independently, they still don't represent anything approaching significant coverage of the org. There is also a recently-added source about a banner campaign by the party (added as two sources in the article, but actually just one, [https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/batenge-toh-pitenge-posters-warn-north-indian-voters-over-bjp-mns-tie-up-1835277 1], [https://www.asianage.com/nation/batenge-toh-pitenge-posters-warn-north-indian-voters-over-bjp-mns-tie-up-1835278 2]) but that is entirely based on statements from the party, so not independent and not secondary. --bonadea contributions talk 19:07, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
• Delete: I am generally lenient with political parties, but no, a political party should have members in the legislature before they can be considered notable. WP:GNG is not met either. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 07:25, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
