Amita Chapra
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails NPOL and GNG. Yes, there are some mentions of her, mostly relating to one specific event (BLP1E, anyone?) but aside from the inaccurate claim of adequate sourcing at the time of the last AfD (the sources did not support the point of notability that was being suggested), there is nothing to indicate even now that this person meets the criteria and there has obviously been an issue with conflict of interest. There is a long discussion at the article talk page where numerous people with experience of the political system in India have pointed out that is mistaken in their understanding of matters pertaining to the situation. I see no point in prolonging matters there. Sitush (talk) 04:22, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:NPOL, has never been elected and there is no inherent notability being the Chairperson of the State Women's Commission.  FITINDIA   20:22, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
 * There is some considerable doubt whether she even has been the chairperson - see the talk page discussion referred to above. She does not appear to make the claim herself, although she does say she was a member of the SWC. The claim seems to originate with promotional activity by someone who says he is her son. - Sitush (talk) 05:33, 2 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete. If the claim that she held a cabinet position is in dispute, then it can't be an automatic WP:NPOL freebie that exempts her from having to be referenced much better than this. Notability in politics is not based on what the article claims, it's based on what the article reliably sources as true. Bearcat (talk) 18:26, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
