I have reviewed the links. Every politician get election related coverage that cannot be used to claim WP:GNG. That is why WP:NPOL exists, or else we would have to create articles for every politician. All the links above are in the same category of election related coverage. Some links are clearly promotional. There are no major achievements by this politician nor any major award. Venkat TL (talk) 18:02, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

NPOL elaborates the conditions for presumed notability, it's not an exclusionary guideline, it's inclusionary. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 01:12, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete Maybe WP:GNG but the references are not enough significant to meet WP:BIO neither he passes WP:NPOL. Mostly the citations are primarily used sources only primary sources without significant coverage I don't think it meets anyone criteria to vote this article as Keep per me. @@@XyX _talk 22:20, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Further to the sources above, in searching, I'm seeing multiyear, multilanguage (Hindi, Bangla, English) reliable source news coverage well outside election period coverage. National news analysis for BJP victory in Tripura. Move to WB and election planning there. Roles in RSS and BJP discussed. Spreading fake news. Clearly a national-level, notable party represenative. Meets the GNG.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]

I reviewed the links. 2018-19 are election related coverage. Rest are statements given as a party spokesman. They do not establish notability. Primary concern is lack of major achievement or election victory/major post. Even the Wiki article does not assert notability in the first line, because there is nothing to fill up there. Venkat TL (talk) 09:34, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He's a high-level *electoral*-party representative, of course there will be election-related coverage. It's only once every five years there's less than five state/UT elections in a single year in India. It's a long bow to claim that election-related reports do not establish notability for a person whose primary function is election-related; the problem is your position on sourcing conflates a politician seeking election with a party-representative who is not seeking election. There's more than adequate material from reliable sources to satisfy the GNG. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 22:54, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Politicians are prone to promotional and election related routine coverage. GNG cannot be claimed for them. Venkat TL (talk) 06:07, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It is not surprising that sources discuss this individual in the context of election matters, as he is a political party official. Much of the coverage referenced above is fairly high quality and in-depth. Frankly I struggle to see how a person holding such a senior role within the world's largest political party in the world's largest democracy could not be notable. The sources clearly demonstrate his notability. AusLondonder (talk) 16:52, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
