I did a web search for “Poland Main Political Council”. Not much related to the content of the article appeared. Suspicious. In addition, the article does not cite any sources. Interesting. I tagged it with the “Hoax” template. Now it’s up for deletion here. Torrent01 (is cool) (talk) 00:32, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Not a hoax. The corresponding Polish article is here. A Google translation is here Eastmain (talk • contribs) 00:39, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This formation is discussed in context, with a footnote, at Polish Underground State. I have also added a book reference, though left the nominator's Hoax tag in place for the moment. AllyD (talk) 06:59, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Service for Poland's Victory unless there is scope for a major expansion before this AFD closes. This appears to be the political wing of an underground resistance organisation, following the conquest of Poland by Germany and Russia in 1939.

Merge, agree with Peterkingiron. Renata (talk) 17:15, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This does appear to satisfy GNG. James500 (talk) 18:32, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There is a fair amount of coverage in multiple books, The Polish Underground and the Jews, 1939–1945 for instance. I would not oppose a merge given the current undeveloped state of both articles, but either way, the information should be kept per WP:PRESERVE. By the way, a more common English translation in sources of Główna Rada Polityczna is "Chief Political Council" which may help in searches. Also, the council is also known as Rada Główna Obrony Narodowej ("Main National Defense Council"). SpinningSpark 17:13, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Article has been demonstrated not to be a hoax, however there is a split view between Merge and Keep. It would be helpful if the Merge !votes could clarify if they were arguing on basis of CONTENTFORK, notability or otherwise

Keep: sufficient for a stub in the present state. There are others sources available under the native name: Google books preview. Also has a pl.wiki article which is a good indicator of notability: Główna Rada Polityczna. K.e.coffman (talk) 20:26, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
