Not a notable organisation. Google searches in English and in Spanish (i.e. Partido Revolucionario de los Trabajadores Peru) return only primary source results or mentions in leftist blogs/magazines. Nearly no mentions by secondary or tertiary sources aside from mere mentions of its existence (i.e. Confirming the organisation's existence but making no claim to its significance).

• Speedy keep - clearly WP:BEFORE was not respected here. "In 1978 Blanco was back in Peru helping to organize the PRT, which elected him to the Constituent Assembly. In 1980 the PRT obtained 160,713 for their presidential slate, headed by Hugo Blanco, Ricardo Napuri, Schapiro, and Enrique Fernandez Chacon. The party elected two senators - Napuri and Hipolito Enriquez - and three deputies - Blanco, Fernandez and Emeterio Calendonio." [1] --Soman (talk) 12:53, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Question - If the party had elected representatives as Soman's quote seems to indicate, clearly we must keep. But the Hugo Blanco (politician) article seems to say he was elected as a representative of the Revolutionary Workers' Party (Peru), an existing article. In the English this is just a matter of word order, suggesting perhaps a duplicate article, but the dates and Spanish names are quite distinct. What is going on here? — Charles Stewart (talk) 14:26, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• The Hugo Blanco (politician) article clearly indicates that he was in PRT during the 1978 election ("After spending several years of exile in Sweden, Mexico and Chile he returned to Peru in 1978, was a founder of the Workers Revolutionary Party and was elected to parliament on a left-wing slate"). POR and PRT are not the same. --Soman (talk) 17:21, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
