Article PRODded with reason: "Not notable candidate for local office, does not meet WP:POLITICIAN." De-PRODded by article creator without reason given. PROD reason still stands, hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 08:48, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Candidate for a local election, fails WP:NPOLITICIAN and WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:29, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * If I read this correctly, he is a candidate for the State legislative assembly, equivalent to a US State Legislature. Should he win, he would clearly pass WP:NPOL. Simply being such a candidate is not enough, but it may be enough when combined with other coverage. has anyone done a WP:BEFORE search to find such coverage if it exists? I see there are at least a few mentions in what i recognize as major newspapers in India. The current article is not well-written, and is a bit promotional in tone, but that can be cured by normal editing. I don't think that the case for deletion has been thoroughly stated as yet.

 * A Google search doesn't bring up any coverage more substantial than the in-passing mentions that are already in the article. At this point, it is impossible to know whether he'll win a seat in the state legislature or not, so at best, this is WP:TOOSOON. --Randykitty (talk) 16:29, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Agreed, I believe that if elected it is a state legislator, and so he would then pass WP:NPOLITICIAN. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:17, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Promotion piece, not elected to anything yet. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 12:31, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:POLITICIAN as an unelected candidate and no other convincing claim to notability is made. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  17:31, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete since he fails WP:POLITICIAN as of now. OK to create later if he wins the assembly election. Vipinhari  &#124;&#124;  talk  19:33, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Draftify pending the election outcome. No need to throw out all of the current content, that which is properly sourced can be kept in draft-space until the election result is known. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 10:28, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Move to draftspace per above- their notability depends on the election result. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:32, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment I assume that those !voting to draftify this stub have looked at the references and noticed that at least two do not mention this person and the others are either not independent or only mention him in passing. Basically, "all of the current content" that can be verified is that he's a candidate and chairman of an apparently rather minor government-owned company. --Randykitty (talk) 10:55, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
