Rahul Kumar Kamboj

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An advertorially toned BLP on a nn politician and member of a city council. Significant RS coverage not found. WP:TOOSOON per review of available sources, which include passing mentions, blogs, and other sources otherwise not suitable for notability. Does not meet WP:NPOL; the only interesting aspect of the subject's career is that he's the first politician of Indian descent elected to the council in question. However, I don't believe that this rises to the level of encyclopedic notability. Created by Special:Contributions/Farhanramzan123 currently indef blocked as part of a sock farm; please see Sockpuppet_investigations/Hamzaramzan123. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:37, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Mr. Kumar is well known in the Indian community Germany for his social and political achievements. He is also the first Counsillor in the history of Indian Diaspora. In Germany his Surname is only Kumar not Kamboj. For seachresults in other Databases look for "Rahul Kumar Kelsterbach". I think its not fair to delete, request for more time. Other examples Raveesh Kumar, Anant Kumar, Gujjula Ravindra Reddy. GoPro (talk) 13:17, 7 January 2018 (UTC) — GoPro (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Page created on 18 December 2017‎. Many other users also accept the relevance of this Page like myself. Its the first time that an Overseas Citizenship of India is elected as Official state Member in Germany. Its a proud moment for India with more then 1.339.180.000 Citizens. The relavence is available.(Find Sources: Google News, Google Search, HightBeam, the pioneer 5.146.101.88 (talk) 19:05, 7 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete Non-notable politician and purely advert. Fails WP:NPOL.  Hagennos (talk) 23:00, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Note WP:NPOL; Nevertheless Point Nr. 2 fit here. "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage". First Indian and also the youngest ever as Counsillor. 2003:C5:F1A:E10B:95DB:1696:14D0:7B8F (talk) 13:20, 11 January 2018 (UTC)


 * save page I believe the relevance is present. Have a look to the German Press reports. DGIM (talk) 05:46, 8 January 2018 (UTC) — DGIM (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Correction I am (de-German) User since 2007 and also made many fixes on other pages. DGIM (talk) 08:55, 14 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Agree with GoPro; example Raveesh Kumar is also present here.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:908:178:7B80:69C5:71BB:9FBC:52A4 (talk) 12:25, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Relevance accepted In Germany Counsillor (Stadtrat) is equal to vice Mayor. Approximately 700.000 People living in Frankfurt and 20.000 in Kelsterbach near the international Airport (FRA). Kumar is district level FDP Board Member of state (Kreis) Gross-Gerau with more then 260.000 citizens. At this time he is the youngest (with Indian background) president of the Social Association VdK Kelsterbach in the histroy and entire federal territory. The non-profit organization counts around 1.8 million members throughout Germany. In short time (from 2016) he achieved much recognition from German and Indian community. Its just demotivating to delete this efforts. I think to provide more time to updte the articel is a motivating way. 84.188.133.129 (talk) 20:28, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete- I don't know much about German politics, but this guy is basically a city councilman, right? If so, he clearly would not pass WP:NPOL--Rusf10 (talk) 03:21, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment Basically you maybe right but 1. he is the first Indian 2. he also district level politician 3. he is the first and yougest president of Social Orgabisation VDK; according to WP:NPOL he received much popularity in the Indian and German News/Press. To say or fix just only a city politician is wrong. DGIM (talk) 08:55, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Nom's comment -- the subject being the first to achieve this position does not matter if the sources do not amount to WP:SIGCOV. At the end of the day, the article has been created by a promotional sock farm in violation of TOU and should be deleted per WP:DENY. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:46, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Concur with nom. Winged Blades Godric 06:04, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete "First person from **insert country** to hold the position of **insert role in local politics**" does not equate to notability. Furthermore, the article was created by a sock. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 09:21, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
