WP:BLP of a mayor, which just states that he exists and then reference bombs his existence to six short blurbs and a primary source that do little more than verify and reverify said existence. As always, mayors are not entitled to an automatic inclusion freebie just because they exist -- even in large cities, the notability bar for mayors requires the ability to write a substantive and well-sourced article about his political career: specific things he did in the mayor's chair, specific municipal projects he spearheaded, and on and so forth. Articles which just state that the mayor exists, the end, are not what we're looking for when it comes to establishing that he warrants an encyclopedia article — and one of the sources here indicates that Tiwari was selected, not elected, as mayor, raising the question of whether this city has the directly elected executive kind of mayor who can be notable, or the ceremonial kind who cannot (that distinction being, in and of itself, one of the core reasons why an article about a mayor has to be able to say and source a lot more than just "Jitendra Tiwari is a mayor who exists".) Note that the first nomination appears to have been about a different person with the same name, so this is not eligible for G4 speedy. Bearcat (talk) 03:54, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:POLITICIAN. One of the sources that was cited in the article before nomination says right in the headline that he is an MLA. Maybe if the nominator spent a few seconds looking at the specific sources presented rather than writing long screeds of generalities we would be able to avoid such nominations.
