 * Keep and move to 'Ravindra Gujjula'. A bit of Googling found this, archived from the Sunday Times of India: "He is Germany's first non-white mayor". A bit more googling finds lots more coverage of him under this name, which I'd say meets the WP:GNG. I'd guess his middle name is Reddy and the page name is a mistake meant as "Gujjula, Ravindra Reddy". I'd be happy to make the move and start folding the sources in, but perhaps best to wait for the AfD to finish before moving the article? Mortee (talk) 00:42, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Update he was Mayor of German City Altlandsberg with Indian roots and also Member of state parliament. Page is created in 2008 and to delete it now is not a motivating way for the Indian community in Germany. GoPro (talk) 06:14, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment WPs notability criteria are very clear. Article should pass WP:GNG and WP:NBIO for notability.  As you mentioned in the above comment, if he was a member of state parliament there should be some reference to it in govt documents which should establish notability.

 * Keep and Move Member of the Brandenburg Parliament, passing WP:NPOL. Move per User:Mortee. --Enos733 (talk) 17:35, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename, but rename how? It’s clear that he is notable, but it’s not at all clear what his name is. The one reference that was added gives his name as Ravindra Gujjula, but then refers to him as “Mr. Ravindra” and “Dr. Ravindra”. It also says his father’s name was Yalamanda Reddy. I suggest this discussion be relisted to allow more time to get definitive information about his name. --MelanieN (talk) 03:20, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
 * No objection to relisting but I still say Ravindra Gujjula. The 8 sources I gave in my !vote above all use that name (and a "Gujjula Jr" in the fist one, which is the one that was added to the article). I'd read "Mr. Ravindra" and "Dr. Ravindra" a lot like "Dr. Phil" – a combination of respect (title) and warmth (first name) – and I think the father's middle name was Reddy: "his parents Yalamanda Reddy... and Sarala Devi", i.e. Yalamanda Reddy Gujjula and Sarala Devi Gujjula.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep, state legislator easily passes WP:NPOL. Not sure what is the problem with the naming, but seems better to move to the naming used in German politics. Do note that South Indian naming conventions are different from European naming conventions. "Gujjula" is the name of a location, "Ravindra" the proper individual name, "Reddy" a caste name. It appears he used "Gujjula" akin to a family name in Germany. --Soman (talk) 08:03, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
