• keep (if i understand the source correctly) if I read this right, [1] Hindori was a politician of the national parliament of Suriname and thus merits inclusion under WP:NPOL. he also merited a biographical entry here [2] (although in the snippet view, its hard to see anything particularly notable) but google translate says this source [https://books.google.com/books?id=fD5KAAAAYAAJ&q=George+Hindori+suriname&dq=George+Hindori+suriname&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CE0Q6AEwB2oVChMI_YfnjpOJyQIVyz4mCh2aUQS7 says "What is hard is the fact that in the history of the independent genesis of Suriname, the breakthrough came when the one Hindustani, George Hindori, with the Creole block came along. And the history of the independent" -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 20:00, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, unless someone can rewrite the article to make sense (as well as to establish his notability). There are several mentions of his "change of position", but no explanation of what it was before, when he changed it, and what it was afterwards. Maproom (talk) 21:45, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Info on his change of position was removed with this dif. —teb728 t c 22:34, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• along with the incorrect claim that "widely considered the driving force behind the independence " when in fact the sources all state he was a latecomer and his intentions are defined all over the map. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:49, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep He was a member of the parliament of Suriname, and also held a cabinet level position as Secretary of Agriculture. Accordingly, he meets WP:NPOL. In 1975, he was right hand man to Jagernath Lachmon, head of the primarily Hindu political party opposing immediate independence from the Netherlands. Hindori's defection from the anti-independence movement and switch to support for immediate independence was a decisive event in Suriname's political history. I do not think that there should be any doubt that he was notable. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:28, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Cullen328's cogent analysis. —GrammarFascist _contribs^talk 10:12, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - there appears to be very little discussion of this person in published sources (at least those available online), so I initially doubted that he met the general notability guideline. Even if he doesn't, however, he does meet the additional criteria for politicians at WP:PEOPLE]. Thanks for Cullen328 for the analysis. Cordless Larry (talk) 17:50, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually, I must have misremembered how much coverage I found when searching about this person yesterday - there is in fact a fair amount of coverage in Dutch sources. Cordless Larry (talk) 17:53, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
