Haider Ali Khan Tiger

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No claim to notability, Google doesn't turn anything notable up, the linked sources describe him as a political figure but again nothing especially notable. Primary contributor is User:Haideralitiger, suggesting that this is either a vanity article or by someone close to the subject. creffett (talk) 23:06, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Week Keep : The Pioneer article mentions him as president of Rashtriya Pathan Mahasabha. I found one more in India today where, it's written :

'Less than 24 hours after the Mulayam Singh Yadav harangue, Samajwadi Party workers in Ghazipur were all agog, welcoming a new member into their fold.He was neither a cine star nor a socialite with a cause though the fanfare would have warranted one. He was Haider Ali Khan a.k.a Tiger, a local criminal with about half-a-dozen cases lodged against him. In the Uttar Pradesh assembly where Mulayam is the leader of the house, Tigers are the rule rather than the exception.'

So he has political capital for sure.

 * Delete since the subject fails WP:NPOLITICIAN, as he has not won any election or held any major public office. The WP:GNG bar for politicians are higher because they get covered in the media when they stand for elections. Their articles are not kept simply because he gets a mention in the media (As he is 'mentioned' in the link posted above by User:Exploreandwrite). Which is why I am asking for a delete here. Besides the major issue of notability due to the failure to meet NPOLITICIAN, there are other problems with the article as well, it is a one sided 'autobiography' which deliberately hides information about the criminal cases. -- D Big X ray ᗙ  09:31, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete having "political capital", if he actually does have any, doesn't make him notable. Both WP:NPOL fail and WP:GNG fail given the lack of in-depth coverage. Even if he did pass either notability standard it would probably have to be deleted and re-written per WP:TNT just to get the promotional stink off it. Best, GPL93 (talk) 14:13, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Inclusion in Wikipedia is not a matter of whether the subject has "political capital" or not — it is a matter of whether the subject has held a notable political office or not. This person hasn't, and the referencing is not getting him over WP:GNG: he gets namechecked in coverage of other things or people, but is not substantively the subject of any of the footnotes.
