Keep, article needs citations but the subject clearly passes WP:NPOL. He was a representative in the Lok Sabha. Tayi Arajakate Talk 20:34, 20 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep passes WP:NPOL.Note his name as per Lok Sabha website is Madhukar Sirpotdar bio profile.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 12:19, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep agree, he passes WP:NPOL. Member of Lok Sabha is a notable elected position.Walrus Ji (talk) 17:23, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article does need improvement, but members of national legislatures cleanly pass WP:NPOL #1. The question of whether they have press coverage or not is very separate from the question of whether we have actually found and used all of their press coverage or not — and that's especially true for a person whose term in office was decades ago, such that their press coverage won't Google very well and instead will have to be retrieved from microfilms or news databases or archives. There are certain notability claims that we consider "inherent", meaning that as long as they can be verified as accurate the person gets to have a Wikipedia article even if the current state of sourcing in it is inadequate, and being a national legislator is one of those. So by all means tag this for refimprove, but it's not deletable as his service in an inherently notable role is plainly verified. Bearcat (talk) 16:55, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep as a clear NPOL pass – while I'm not unfortunately not proficient in the relevant languages to search myself, I think it's reasonable to assume that non-English (and potentially offline) coverage exists. Blablubbs | talk 23:45, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, as a MLA, meets NPOL.  Onel 5969  TT me 19:18, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
