• Delete a new party with no historical background, activism, and has never participated in local, provincial or federal elections. It has been discussed in RS, but it doesn't mean that it meets notability criteria for a political party. Kashmir is a war zone and every single/small event and action related to politics receives immediate media attention. TheBirdsShedTears ( talk) 07:24, 20 April 2021 (UTC) reply
• Keep Despite the assertion by TheBirdsShedTears, the party has participated (successfully) in local elections. ^[1] National press coverage for more than a year. ^{[2] [3]} Concur with BrownHairedGirl, passes the GNG.

Comment Striking my first comment, there's actually no sourcing I can find which shows JKWP results from an election, rather than claims (as in that article) of representation.-- Goldsztajn ( talk) 11:38, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply

• Keep I looked and searched for articles referring to the JKWP. All are recent (less than one year old articles, many are from the past month)
