Article mentions subject's qualifications and quotes from government officials, but fails to provide any sources or external links for this information. Additionally, the article, particularly sentences such as: "Aruna Kumari is known for her sincerity, honesty and determination in politics like her father" strike me as being in clear violation of WP:NPOV as the subject is apparently an elected official.

Author has edited the article numerous times in response to flagging but has yet to improve the readibilty, grammar, or organisation of the page to a degree that would shed light on the importance of the subject. Edits have consisted of adding additional, irrelevant, details about the subject's life instead of condensing and clarifying. Dontexpect (talk) 14:35, 13 July 2009

• Keep and clean up. The subject qualifies WP:Politician per this and this. Article should just be stubbed for now and then allow only sourced content to be added. -SpacemanSpiff{ ^Calvin_Hobbes 14:48, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:GNG "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material." Although your second article focuses on Ms Kumari, the first merely lists her name at the end of the piece, not explaining her relevance to the issue at hand. Politicians do fall under notability criteria WP:POLITICIAN, but "Just being an elected local official...does not guarantee notability."--Dontexpect (talk) 15:09, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Response Please read WP:Politician carefully. Your interpretation is wrong, she isn't an elected local official. -SpacemanSpiff{ ^Calvin_Hobbes 16:23, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't argue too much with you here, as the number of English language resources available to determine more about her are few and far between. Her title as Smt. Galla Aruna Kumari, Honorable MLA^[1], in addition to her position as a Minister would seemingly qualify her as an elected official in a Parliamentary system such as India's. Regardless, this article probably does deserve to stick around as a stub (similar to Vellodi_Narayana_Menon_K, for example), edited for length and NPOV.--Dontexpect (talk) 16:50, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Easily passes WP:POLITICIAN as per this. I would say a minister in state cabinet is inherently notable. Salih (talk) 15:23, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Article needs significant content editing to be up to snuff but I think it fits for inclusion per WP:POLITICIAN.Fuzbaby (talk) 17:42, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. As an MLA, she clearly passes WP:POLITICIAN. Other issues are for cleanup, not deletion. • Gene93k (talk) 17:45, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
