Difficult to assess, hence it remaining in CAT:NN for 11 years. I couldn't find evidence it had the significance or influence to meet WP:ORG or the coverage to meet WP:GNG. Possibly worth a merge/redirect to Telangana movement. Boleyn (talk) 16:49, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

• Keep. All you have to do to find the evidence that you claim you couldn't find is to click on the word "books" or "scholar" above. You are not helping to build an encyclopedia by simply copying articles from the "may not be notable" category to AfD without checking such basic search results first.

• user:Phil Bridger, I did check these first. Google Books has many mentions on this party, but I didn't judge it to meet the level of 'significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject' that GNG wants, and as a political organisation they are not inherently notable. It is borderline (imo) but I don't think it is right for a standalone article. I respect anyone coming to a different conclusion though, on this or any other article.

I am at the moment going through the most challenging articles in CAT:NN, removing the notability tags for many which I can establish are notable, and looking at AfD if I am not convinced it goes over the threshold, hoping that AfD can help establish a consensus, and in the case of non-English language topics, that AfD will help counteract any systemic bias there may be on my part if I redirect or prod unilaterally. Thanks for your comments here, and across AfD, which I always find well-thought-out and helpful. Boleyn (talk) 13:02, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

• Keep The said article can be expanded based on books and newspapers and I don't think the converge is trivial, hence deleting or merging may not be the way to go. This can be brought under the scope of Wiki Porject Telangana and Andhra Pradesh for expansion -- Ab207 (talk) 17:01, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

• Keep - Andhra Mahasabha was a mass movement, which brought down the Hyderabad state. "It was through the Andhra Mahasabha that the Communists, in 1948-1950, had organized the agrarian revolt in Telengana which, in some areas, succeeded in replacing governmental authority with peasant soviets.", "The Communists counter-attacked by reducing the enrolment fee to the Andhra Mahasaha from 4 annas to 1 anna. They encouraged the participation of the poor and the landless, and by early 1945 claimed that the membership rose from twenty to 'about 90,000'.", "The third major element in the Telengana rebellion was the Communist party of India (CPI), members of which had taken an increasingly important part in cultural-cum-political organizations such as the Andhra Mahasabha.", "The Andhra Maha Sabha was organised in 1928 to articulate , the demands of the Telugu - speaking population of Hyderabad State . It organised its first conference at Jogipet in 1930 . The Andhra Maha Sabha was the forum for all shades of political opinion in its initial stages." "The main task of the Communist Andhra Maha Sabha in its incipient stages was to bring relief to people affected with famine . Mostly due to the efforts of the Communist Andhra Maha Sabha , the government woke up to enquire about the famine conditions and remove the discontentment among peasantry to some extent." "They also began to infiltrate the Andhra Maha Sabha . They built up a peasants ' movement through the Sabha and laid foundations to make it a popular movement . They took up the problems of tenancy , forced labour and of small and..." "They transformed the Andhra Maha Sabha into a militant mass political organisation." --Soman (talk) 11:41, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
