Dinesh Sen

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:BASIC with only a single weak secondary source that says nothing about Sen beyond the single fact of his presidency of Sutradhar Kala Sangam. McGeddon (talk) 20:14, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * This article needs some improvement, obviously. Perhaps or  can turn this turkey into a delicious centerpiece. There's some sourcing around that mentions him; unfortunately, the article is so badly written that I can't figure out what the guy might be notable for, whether those elections he supposedly won guarantee him automatic notability as an elected representative. Drmies (talk) 21:22, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * He is pretty much the equivalent of a councillor in the UK. That's a fairly low bar and I can't think of any article where being a councillor amounts to sufficient notability for inclusion here. The article is obviously a fan piece. - Sitush (talk) 21:29, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Sitush is right, this is the equivalent of a local councilman, see District Councils of India for information on it. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  03:44, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. The position doesn't seem important enough to pass WP:POLITICIAN, which is an extremely inclusive notability guideline to begin with. Pburka (talk) 18:24, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete I did dig around but could find nothing that might boost his notability. The sangam is just a small-ish local charity and in any event notability is not inherited, so his role within it would not sustain this separate article. - Sitush (talk) 18:36, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
