Fails WP:NPOL. Rest everything WP:MILL. Hence, calling for an AfD discussion. - Hatchens (talk) 08:51, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment: Meets GNG, besides he has been working extensively on several areas of social issues which have had wide coverage. Has been founder member of AAP and now spokesperson for BJP. Amitized (talk) 08:57, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
 * @Amitized: Being a founder or a spokesperson for a political party(s) is not enough for passing WP:NPOL. One has to win elections at state-level or federal-level, which is not the case with this entity. - Hatchens (talk) 14:04, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep WP:GNG/WP:BASIC notability as a senior advocate and political figure appears supported by sources in the article and online, e.g. 50 pleas in 5 years for ‘PIL man’ (New Indian Express, 2018), SC raps advocate Ashwini Upadhyay for filing 'meaningless' PILs (ANI/Business Standard, 2018), Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay—Advocate Who Laid The Foundation For Hindutva Matters In India (Outlook, 2021), AAP expels Ashwini Upadhyay, who levelled charges against Kejriwal (The Indian Express, 2014), and there is a fair amount of coverage related to his PIL work, e.g. PTI/The Hindu 2022, Hindu 2022, NDTV 2022, New Indian Express 2022, India Today 2021, Hindustan Times 2021, Economic Times 2021, Hindustan Times 2019, Hindu 2019, PTI/India Today 2019, Hindustan Times 2017, ANI/The Indian Express 2016.

 * Keep He has enough coverage to pass WP:GNG. NMasiha (talk) 16:58, 6 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep – Per a source review, the subject meets WP:BASIC. It is not necessary to meet both WP:BASIC and WP:NPOL. North America1000 02:45, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. I see nothing in that article to indicate that this person had a real impact on anything covered in there. Doczilla  @SUPERHEROLOGIST 06:50, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Your personal opinions about whether or not the subject has made significant impacts is not a guideline-based rationale for deletion. For example, if this type of subjective proclamation were to become policy, we could then delete thousands of various articles about flowers, because flowers often don't make significant impacts that humans notice.

 * If he were run-of-the-mill, as the nomination asserts, why are there all these articles like these, about how unusual it is that he's filed so many PILs? The only language I speak that is commonly spoken in India, out of roughly 1000, is English. I see lots of news articles that discuss him. Who knows how much stuff is available if I spoke some other languages such as Hindi, Urdu, etc. This is in-depth stuff that meets WP:SIGCOV. These are independent, secondary, reliable sources. Beccaynr posted a bunch of them above. He meets WP:BASIC, he meets the general notability guideline. Keep Jacona (talk) 19:10, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
