Not a notable person just because he's a politician means nothing. No RS just a resume. Tyros1972 Talk 10:16, 16 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - This stub was created by a user bearing the same surname as the subject, apparently promotimg family interests, with names of spouse and children, implying WP:COI apart frm the fact that being a local politician, like so many others who are members of regional assemblies, does not mean he meets WP:GNG.--Zananiri (talk) 13:18, 16 June 2013 (UTC) .

 * Keep. Members of state legislative assemblies pass WP:POLITICIAN. • Gene93k (talk) 01:40, 17 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment Where is the RS to prove he is a Members of state legislative assemblies? Only 2 ref and both are self created. If someone can produce the RS it may pass. Tyros1972 Talk 11:38, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * http://www.rajassembly.nic.in is the official website of Rajasthan Legislative Assembly and this confirms that he is a MLA. He passes WP:GNG. The Legend   of Zorro  21:44, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
 * * Comment - First, he is only a new member who has done nothing of note to date. Second, since when do members of regional legislative assemblies become notable politicians by virtue of being members there? And if we keep this, because being a member of a regional assembly makes him notable, shouldn't we have articles on every member of every regional assembly in every country in the world?  I don't think he meets WP:GNG going by the information we have about him. Appears to be a clear case of family promotion so far.--Zananiri (talk) 12:15, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Your first point is correct that he has done nothing of note to date but being a member of a state legislative assembly definitely means he passes WP:GNG. And there is nothing to panic if we have to have articles on every member of every regional assembly in every country in the world. Trust me it is no big deal.

 * Keep All members of all state legislatures, present or past, are notable. It's assumed they will meet the GNG if sufficient work is done; it does not have to be actually demonstrated  DGG ( talk ) 17:31, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep As per explanations provided above. The Legend   of Zorro  21:44, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:POLITICIAN. I have added a Reliable Source reference to the article demonstrating that he is in fact a member of the state legislative assembly. --MelanieN (talk) 15:01, 20 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment: In that case, I hope the creator of this article will also create an article on the predecessor of his namesake, whom he mentions in the infobox. Perhaps, having articles, listing all members of individual state legislatures might be a better idea than having stubs about individual members as in this case, where the list provided by MelanieN takes us to the members' details anyway, provided by themselves, as in this stub under external links, which was originally cited as a ref.--Zananiri (talk) 11:02, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
