All India Ezhai Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam

Hello there! Me again. I'm sorry to be such a pain in the rear. I'm working on the giant orphan backlog and several of the Indian political party stubs are at the top of the list here (in alphabetical order). It's certainly not your responsibility to fix them, but I'm hoping you may have some familiarity with the topic (which I do not) and may be able to help with relative ease. The first ones on my list are All India Ezhai Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam and All India Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam, both of which have no refs and are orphaned. Browsing the web, I could only find English sources (though I'm limited by only speaking English). Any thoughts on these? If you point me towards refs, I'd be happy to clean them up. Or if you know of articles that might reasonably link to these, that would be excellent. If you think it'd be best to redirect them somewhere or even put them up for deletion, that's fine too. I'd appreciate any thoughts on the matter. Thanks for your time. Happy editing! Ajpolino (talk) 23:48, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

No problem. Regarding All India Ezhai Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam, I found only 1 ref in English. In Tamil the search just gave 10 results, none which qualifies for WP:RS. --Soman (talk) 10:22, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
Ok, I'll PROD it. If you think of anything or would like more eyes on it, feel free to let me know or remove the PROD, and I can take it to AfD for more opinions instead. Cheers! Ajpolino (talk) 14:44, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
