Fails WP:GNG, possibly a hoax in that the person is not who the article says he is. Article was created by a blocked user. The first ref no longer works, although the website exists (it's the website of the creator of the article). The second ref doesn't mention Walia's name. Bbb23 (talk) 22:58, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Observation  The article claims  In 2005 he became State Minister for Organic Agriculture Uttarakhand.  - if we take it, he passes WP:POLITICIAN. But this information and other information need sources! - Rayabhari (talk) 06:07, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete as lacking in-depth coverage in multiple independent sources. Also lacking a native-language wiki article to steal refs from. If in-depth coverage in multiple independent sources is added to the article, feel free to ping my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:39, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
