DYK for Communist Party of Italy (Marxist–Leninist) Red Line
On 12 August 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Communist Party of Italy (Marxist–Leninist) Red Line, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after a 1968 split in the Communist Party of Italy (Marxist–Leninist), the Black Line and Red Line groups would engage in reciprocal acts of violence and vandalism? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Communist Party of Italy (Marxist-Leninist) Red Line. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Communist Party of Italy (Marxist–Leninist) Red Line), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

The article Ambedkar National Congress has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Lack of information and notability may also be a concern. One paragraph advertisement. No citations or reliable resources.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 09:01, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
