No notability Prof TPMS (talk) 10:11, 29 February 2016 (UTC) --Prof TPMS (talk) 11:33, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Withdrew nomination for deletion as per talk page consensus.
 * Comment: Coverage in multiple independent reliable sources is sufficient for notability per WP:GNG criteria, and 3 news articles are cited in the article. If you believe these are not sufficient, please be less terse and state your reasons in the nomination. -- intgr [talk] 10:25, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: This gentleman belongs to a political party called AIMIM which itself is not notable with only one lone seat in the Indian Parliament. --Prof TPMS (talk) 10:30, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * If you put it like that, then I'm afraid you don't understand the general notabiliy guideline. How notable this person's party is, or how many seats it has in a parlament, does not matter to notability (WP:NOTINHERIT). What matters is the number and quality of sources about the article's subject. -- intgr [talk] 11:23, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment  I understand.  --Prof TPMS (talk) 11:28, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep: Notable, satisfies WP:GNG. While there isn't much content in the article, there are many English-language sources available about this person (linked in the article), and probably lots more in Hindi. Based on the English-language sources alone, I think it satisfies the GNG. -- intgr [talk] 13:50, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep: The subject passes WP:POLITICIAN criterion 1 by being a multiply-elected MLA. (The article title should be standardised after the conclusion of the AfD.) AllyD (talk) 14:10, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
