Parbati Rai

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:POLITICIAN. No significant coverage found. Also, two of the sources have an IP address in their URLs, and they are dead, so the Communist Party of Nepal (United Marxist) nomination could not be verified. Finally, the third source does not clearly mention the name. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 03:06, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete failed candidates don't usually pass WP:NPOL. At 93 she is unlikely to have a long political career, but hey way to go for trying at that age. Legacypac (talk) 03:22, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. Being a non-winning candidate for political office, which is the only claim being made here, is not an inclusion criterion on Wikipedia — a person needs to either win the election, or have a strong claim to preexisting notability that would already have gotten them an article anyway. And no, there are no notability freebies for being older than other non-winning candidates either. Bearcat (talk) 22:01, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
