I'm not sure about the subject's notability. The subject is a former member of Indian parliament, however, they received no independent reliable coverage. Although it may pass WP:POL, but it fails our primary notability threshold. In the article, it is claimed that the candid has served as a member of parliament but I couldn't found any reliable source supporting that claim.  Jim Car ter  06:50, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Members of national parliaments are always notable per WP:NPOL #1. Once that fact is confirmable, even if only on the government's own listing of its past members, then we do not apply any further conditions to separate legislators into notable or non-notable piles on any criterion beyond the holding of a seat — the article is kept, and any referencing problems are flagged as maintenance issues rather than deletion candidates. In this instance, I can see three potential reasons why the nominator's inability to find improved sources does not mean that improved sources don't exist. Firstly, and most importantly, he was a legislator in India — which means a lot of potential sources are going to be written in Odia, Bengali, Hindi or Urdu rather than English. Secondly, he served in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s — which means a lot of potential sources may exist in news archiving databases or on microfilms rather than being quickly locatable on Google. And thirdly, this election results table gives several different forms of his name: he's "Govind Chandra Munda" when he wins in 1989, "Govinda Chandra Munda" when he wins in 1991 and when he loses in 1984, and just "Govinda Munda" when he wins in 1977 and when he loses in 1980. So yeah, there are some problems here, but they're maintenance issues. Keep and flag for refimprove. Bearcat (talk) 20:01, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
