 * Symbol question.svg There are plenty of references that mention Samphel included in this article, but with the exception of a few "default bios" on web pages, the mentions of Mr. Samphel are all of the "this guy said something about someone else". I can't find anything that really asserts Mr. Samphel's own importance. Am I missing one?  Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:27, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
 * There are plenty of assertions of notability in the article, but the one than unequivocally passes WP:POLITICIAN is "In 1987 Samphel was elected to the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly". --Soman (talk) 13:05, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
