Fails WP:POLITICIAN as an unelected candidate. As for WP:GNG, The Hindu article is half about him, but beyond that, there's not much, an interview or two, announcements, his nice house.[1] Clarityfiend (talk) 19:33, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

my views on deletion
I do not think that this article should be deleted. He is a politician who is Vice President of an Indian political party— while he may not be as notable as other politicians, such as Sarah Palin (just an example), he is still important. HelenDegenerate (talk) 21:10, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: fails NPOL. Subject of article is unelected and has not received substantive media coverage. --RaviC (talk) 11:54, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete As per nomination. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 18:36, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in elections they did not win, but this article does not demonstrate any credible evidence of preexisting notability for other reasons independent of an unsuccessful candidacy.
