This article is confusing because it is about a group of political parties under same or similar name. Its infobox says it was established by Ayub Khan in 1962. But Khan didn’t establish Pakistan Muslim League. He established Convention Muslim League. Pakistan Muslim League is the name of another political party existed from 1947 to 1958. By naming this Pakistan Muslim League, we are creating confusion because the article is about a group of political parties. In that sense, there is no need for the existance of this article. we can merge it into related articles, or we can merge it to List of Muslim League breakaway groups because this article, talks about parties under same/similar name, actually came from Pakistan Muslim League and we already have an article about it (Muslim League (1947–1958)). This article has only three sources. And the page gives us an idea that it is an single political party. It looks like WP:OR and it would be best to merge it into Muslim League (1947–1958) or List of Muslim League breakaway groups or redirect it to Muslim League.

- Comment: It seems like this is a content dispute issue. Have you considered using WP:ATD, as suggested here? — Saqib (talk I contribs) 08:59, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- Not a content dispute issue. But I considered other options. However, looks like there is few to merge because List of Muslim League breakaway groups and other Muslim League related articles already covered all these information of the article. Also the article reflects WP:OR as it wrongly represents the party. That's why I directly nominated it for deletion discussion. Mehedi Abedin 09:04, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

- Keep Let me simplify it for you. After dissolution of Muslim League in 1958, Ayub Khan established Pakistan Muslim League in 1962. It further breakaway into two factions afterwards. Convention Muslim League was a breakaway faction of PML which supported Ayub Khan while another faction was Council Muslim League which supported Fatima Jinnah in 1965 Pakistani presidential election.

- @Muneebll Even in that sense Ayub's PML and Zia's PML are not same. But that article has Ayub and Zia's PML content, which results WP:OR. Ayub's PML was divided into two factions soon, did not joined any general election, which is not notable as a article in Wikipedia and can be merged into Convention. That PML did not survive for even a year. Mehedi Abedin 14:26, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep as per Muneebll.--Ameen Akbar (talk) 20:56, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
