Rantidev Sen Gupta

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG. It also fails WP:NPOL as he is a losing candidate in election and it fails WP:NJOURNALIST too. S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 07:08, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they did not win, but this neither demonstrates preexisting notability for other reasons independently of the candidacy nor sources a credible reason to treat his candidacy as more special than everybody else's candidacies.

 * Keep. Rantidev Sen Gupta is not known for politics at all so the issue of election is not applicable. Sen Gupta is notable enough in the Indian field of journalism. He is a Bengali writer and editor with national importance. Pinakpani (talk) 08:44, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Except that there are zero sources covering him in the context of being a journalist; there are just sources that say he's a former journalist in the process of not being about that, which is not how you make a journalist notable under our notability standards for journalists either.

 * Delete – Fails general notability guidelines. I welcome non-English language sources for consideration, of course. Missvain (talk) 23:49, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
