Fails to demonstrate Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Merge with Kurdistan Free Life Party. Pahlevun (talk) 08:52, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. I find 2 more news sources: [1], [2]. Perhaps there are more in English. I would be hesitant to delete it without hearing more from others and seeing what they can find. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:11, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The sources are trivial mention, not deep coverage. Being subordinate to notable organizationsdoes not prove notability, because notability is not inherited. Pahlevun (talk) 10:24, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as a separate article, make a redirect to Kurdistan Free Life Party (there doesn't really seem to be anything to merge). --Lineagegeek (talk) 23:50, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Kurdistan Free Life Party as the coverage doesn't seem to warrant a separate article. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk)
