Keep, and can we get a snowball keep on the various Pakistan student-related AfDs Greenbörg has initiated. The user in question does not seem to research very well before initiating an AfD. DSF was the major student movement in Pakistan in the early years after independence. --Soman (talk) 18:18, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

On the other hand, it will be helpful to give sources demonstrating that this student wing is notable. Greenbörg (talk) 16:19, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is Google. "In West Pakistan these come into prominence mostly during the periods of student agitation. The most important of these in West Pakistan are : — (1) The Democratic Students' Federation (D.S.F.)." https://books.google.com/books?id=gTRYAAAAMAAJ , p. 8 --Soman (talk) 17:26, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Quite notable indeed [1]. This student organisation, as Soman mentioned, was active so many decades ago (when the internet didn't exist) that we have to be extra resourceful when looking for sources. This wasn't much of a problem for this one as the news refs show, but generally for other articles, we do need to factor this in. Mar4d (talk) 16:26, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
