Abhinav Delkar

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Subject fails WP:NBIO and WP:NPOL. Except for two press coverage, there is nothing about him prior to death of his father. All coverage later on are his accusations and media press releases on how his father was abated for suicide. Being president of the Dadra & Nagar Haveli's Indian Youth Congress does not satisfy NPOL. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 06:36, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep - Yes, a junior politician and trustee of 5 university accredited colleges should not have had a wikipedia page before 22 Feb 2021, which of course he did not. However, last month his father, veteran parliamentarian and tribal rights advocate, hanged himself and that became the biggest news story in a nation of a billion people. Since then, as scandalous details emerge daily the story has repeatedly been one of the biggest stories nationally. The campaign for justice for Mohan Delkar's death has involved multiple speeches from senior politicians in national parliament and state assemblies, a criminal investigation of national and local officials, daily street protests and a strike planned for this Monday. Grieving son Abhinav is at the centre of this ongoing campaign travelling the country, regularly hosting press conferences and is reported in prestigious secondary sources The Times of India, The Hindu, The Indian Express, Hindustan Times etc. The criminal investigation only started after his press conference outside the Maharashtra State Assembly and subsequent police statement which attracted widespread national media attention. There is no reason to believe this story is going away anytime soon.
 * Yes, he's not a notable politician yet but he absolutely is a notable campaigner. Though the campaign is less than a month old that doesn't mean it isn't notable. Disha Ravi had a page from November - many months before her arrest. It's not just senior politicians, sports stars and creative professionals that are notable. People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. One may regard "his accusations and media press releases" as examples of sensationalism but that would be irrelevant to his notability.
 * This page deletion seems inconsistent considering that are countless Wikipedia bio pages like SteveWillDoIt, Bunny Meyer, Messi (cougar) etc.
 * A very minor point is that the Delkar story and Abhinav's statements are relevant to many other pages, if perhaps only a short paragraph. The explanation of who Abhinav is on each page reads tediously compared to a link to his page for those that want to know more.
 * This page may need improvement but it's deletion seems excessive. There are 25 good quality secondary sources referenced on the page itself. With countless more available online, please suggest how many are required to demonstrate notability? Thanks Veej (talk) 14:30, 19 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Merge - Merge to Mohanbhai Sanjibhai Delkar article. -AppuduPappudu (talk) 15:54, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: First of all delete, as per WP:POLOUTCOMES. Secondly, all the sources given in the article are giving him trivial or incidental coverage. For a subject to become notable, we need siginficant coverage. This is also a case of WP:REFBOMB. I also strongly stands with the findings by . Kichu🐘 Need any help?
 * Delete: fails WP:NPOL. --RaviC (talk) 15:30, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
