Rajaram Mukne

Hasn't received significant press coverage under WP:GNG, WP:POLITICIAN Harsh (talk)  10:31, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with the nominator. One single article noting his appointment as state party secretary.  Has not held any significant state or national level office.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:04, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep: He seems to be a Secretary of an important State Political Party. So it is a State level office. However the article needs secondary sources. It can be kept if some new sources have been added. Note:Lack of having a significant press coverage alone cannot be considered for deletion. Since the subject can also be a low profile. -- Bharathiya (talk) 02:34, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment This is not a state level elected office. This is a political functionary -- a member of the political party who holds no current elected office.  That does not meet the criteria of WP:POLITICIAN, and the coverage available does not meet the breadth or depth of coverage required by WP:GNG.

 * Comment Person who is working at ground level for the backward classes, adivasis and for needy people from the higher caste community also though he has only worked at state level and not national level cannot be a criteria for deletion. If everybody started sitting in an air conditioned offices who would work for grass route level people?  So I think higher level office cannot be criteria for publishing a page of any political social activist on Wikipedia. Their devotion to socially at large is important. We must respect Mukne’s Social work and his devotion for poor and helpless Adivasi Dalit and needy people. I must salute Mr. Mukne for his great social work. Publishing his page is really an inspiration for other social workers like him who are behind the curtain and far away from press coverage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anurang (talk • contribs)
 * Comment This nomination is not in any way intended to imply that Mukne's work is not valuable. Just that, as a politician, his career does not meet the criteria for inclusion for politicians.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:40, 20 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Do not Delete Page cannot be deleted because R.P. Mukne had sufficient press coverage in leading Marathi News Papers and TV Media. Mukne is writer also and he is writing articles to catch the attention of Government for the development of this neglected area since 1968. He is working in very remote and neglected area from last 40 years. You are talking about insufficient media coverage and Mukne is working for the Adivasipeople who get insufficient food. So what is important you want "publicity" or "public service"? Therefore it will be unjustified to neglect a great social worker Mukne who work for neglected people in the rural and remote area of rural Thane District. So I request Wikipedia to keep this page on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anurang (talk • contribs)
 * Comment Again, no slight is intended against Mukne or his work. But being a writer (even a prolific one) is not sufficient.  Only evidence of coverage by independent sources (i.e. people writing about Mukne, not Mukne writing about his issues) is sufficient.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:40, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

In the 1960s and 70s backward class leaders did not get much publicity because of castism in India. So there is no question of press coverage but one important thing must be noted that Mr. Mukne’s voice against untouchablility was noted by Foreign AuthorKlaus Klostermaier and the author has given the reference of mukne's article published in india's leading international daily newspaper the Times of India in 1968 in his book "A Survey of Hinduism" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anurang (talk • contribs) 
 * Book Reference
 * Comment' An author citing an article by Mukne is not exactly a sign of notability. If many authors cited his works, that would be significant as it would indicate that his thinking has influenced others, but a single citation may just mean that this was a convenient article to cite a particular fact that the author wanted to get across.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Relisting comment. Please note that arguments not based on Wikipedia's deletion policy are likely to be ignored by the closing administrator. The guidelines WP:BASIC and WP:POLITICIAN are particularly relevant to this case. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 13:06, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

May be according to Wikipedia Mr. mukne has no sufficient online citation to produce here via hyperlink but some News Paper cuttings of articles about Mukne is uploaded and Photographs are attached with this page for reference. Considering his social work he is also appointed Maharashtra State Vice President of All-India Depressed Classes League" founded by Jagjivan Ram who was Deputy Prime Minister of India. In accordance with his social work from last 40 years for depressed class work I request Wikipedia to considering Mukne in social worker category instead of Indian Politician. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anurang (talk • contribs) 23:01, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
