Govind Dholakia

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Does not meet the criteria for Wikipedia's Notability of Politicians guideline (WP:NPOL). Nominated to the Rajya Sabha but not elected, and has not yet taken on the role. Remaining content is promotional in nature (WP:NEWSORGINDIA), including his autobiography. Charlie (talk) 15:21, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep: Members-elect to an WP:NPOL-passing office pass NPOL. This source confirms he was elected. Curbon7 (talk) 20:48, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Agree, we can make MP-elect articles per NPOL clause. Read this, Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels. This also applies to people who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️(🗨️ ● ✉️ ● 📔) 00:16, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep He is a member-elect of the Rajya Sabha, so obviously meets WP:NPOL #1. The article needs improvement and cleaning up, not deletion. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 03:02, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Withdraw and Keep Passes WP:NPOL criterion 1 for the member-elect. Also, the reference from The Hindu, shared by Curbon7 and added by me, satisfies the requirements of WP:THREE; which also dispelled my uncertainty regarding his appointment through election, as I had previously assumed it was merely a nomination.
