 * Delete. Fails WP:POLITICIAN & WP:GNG as per nom. Deswal was a losing candidate for the Haryana Legislative Assembly. Also serving as state president of a student organisation, is not enough to jusitify notability. Lefcentreright  Talk  (plz ping) 10:09, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Neither being an unsuccessful candidate in a state legislature election nor holding a role in student government constitutes an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL, and the article is not referenced anywhere close to well enough to claim that he passes WP:GNG in lieu of having to pass NPOL: the first source is just routine verification of the vote totals in his unsuccessful campaign, and the other source just includes him giving brief soundbite in an article that is not about him.

 * Keep The person is notable in Haryana and key person for the JJP party and fought for students right and already on Wikipedia page of 2019 Haryana election page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbmnlaw (talk • contribs) 00:52, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
 * People don't automatically get to keep standalone articles just because their name is already present in other articles — that's not how Wikipedia works. Oftentimes, in fact, the mention in the other article is all their level of notability actually warrants. And the article would need to have a lot more reliable sources, and a lot more substance, than this before it was evident that he's sufficiently "notable in Haryana" to warrant an article at all.
