Pirate Party Nepal

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable, and furthermore likely non-existant IRL. Google search gives nothing except wikipedia and facebook. Article claims a membership of 11, facebook page has 9 members. The name in Nepali is quite suspicious to me "Samudri Daka" literally means "Sea Pirate"/"Sea Robber", not "Pirate" in general. Soman (talk) 23:17, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable yet, but existent. Facebook page fans != party members. The website will be released once membership with PPI is finalized. I do not know of a better translation to "pirate" in Nepali; do you know of one? Hold delete for 7 days.

So you're admitting it's non-notable? Delete then. Erpert (let's talk about it) 06:13, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ouf of curiosity, was this AfD nomination done correctly? There aren't any categories. Erpert (let's talk about it) 06:50, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The IP account deleted the category template, see [1]. --Soman (talk) 07:25, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well yea, non-notable because no one knows about it! Should change soon. We expect to hear back from PPI next week. I am not aware about the categories; please help fix. Also, I probably deleted that by accident. If deleting this article makes wikipedia better. Go for it. I created it thinking people would be interested to know. Maybe it was too early.

- Subjects have to be notable before they get a Wikipedia article, not after. Erpert (let's talk about it) 22:12, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have just sent request to the .np TLD ___domain registry regarding registration of pirateparty.org.np. We have been waiting for that ___domain to set our web presence there. I have also been in contact with Gregory Engels of Pirate Parties International regarding affiliation with them. The problem with being a small initiative, specially in a developing country like Nepal is getting relevant press coverage to establish prominence. I am in contact with a few notable media houses in Nepal, and they are positive. I will post links to them as soon as I get them. In the mean time, if necessary, would it be possible to set this article as a draft rather than deletion? That way, I can keep working on this article while not loosing the work already put into it. Let me know. Also, thanks for your help with this. I really appropriate your help and your patience :) Prameya —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.230.137.83 (talk) 20:10, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest you save the current article data in a word document. Once there is coverage by different prominent newsmedia, re-upload with those references. --Soman (talk) 20:42, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest to userfy the article till there are enough external references (should be there shortly) --Dichter (talk) 13:06, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have created a copy of this article here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Prameya/Pirate_Party_of_Nepal. Ok for deletion for now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prameya (talk • contribs) 13:05, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, I tagged it for speedy per G7. Erpert (let's talk about it) 15:54, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
