The only claim of notability in this article is that they have a member in state parliament. However, looking at the sources used, the MLA himself, Nawsad Siddique is actually from the Indian Secular Front which is only loosely affiliated, ie. "on a ticket", "borrowed symbol" with this party. Even if he's actually from the party, there's not enough significant coverage to meet WP:ORGDEPTH. —twotwofourtysix^{(My talk page and contributions)} 14:10, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Twotwofourtysix. It says in the article that, The Indian Secular Front party fought election under the name of Rashtriya Secular Majlis Party. Are you disputing this? If this is true, then instead of deleting, may be the better action will be to merge the two articles into a suitable target article, (may be at Indian Secular Front) Venkat TL (talk) 08:08, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There is no rule that Member of a party can fight elections on another partys' symbol. See - https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/tamil-nadu/2019/sep/18/one-party-candidate-cant-contest-in-another-partys-symbol-eci-2035029.amp

Indian Secular Front is not a registered party. There is no name of this party in Election Commission of India's New Party Seeking Registeration since 1 January 2021 see - https://eci.gov.in/files/category/352-new-parties-seeking-registration/

I think it is a Double-faced politics played in West Bengal. If is not seeking Registeration then how Abbas Siddiqui launched party for election? See - https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/pirzada-abbas-siddiqui-announces-indian-secular-front-isf-for-bengal-elections-2356170 and they also released there symbol without registration. See - https://www.indiatvnews.com/video/politics/pirzada-abbas-siddiqui-to-release-his-party-symbol-today-689141. If it is not registered then how Indian Secular Front article is live?

Oppose: This is a Party registered in Election Commission of India. Hence the page should not be deleted. -Vijethnbharadwaj (talk) 10:56, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: ISF is a West Bengal-based political party whereas RSMP is a Bihar-based party. ISF contested the 2021 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election under the borrowed symbol of RSMP. They should not be merged as these are two different political parties. — Diptyajit (talk) 16:04, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It's a registered, unrecognized party; of which there are ~3k. The only coverage, even in local media has been about ISF borrowing their symbol. --Hemantha (talk) 11:11, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
