The result was Draftify. Clear consensus that this doesn't belong in mainspace, especially considering that the keep arguments are not based on policy. Opinions differ on exactly how to get it out of mainspace, but draft seems like a reasonable compromise. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:38, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

unellected candidates are not normally notable. Only notable for one election. Slatersteven (talk) 13:57, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * First of all thank you for inviting the discussion. I like to inform you that this person may pass the notability criterion because of she is the youngest candidate of Member of Parliament in West Bengal and one of the youngest in India for 2019 General Election. At the time of filing nomination she was 25 yrs 8 days whereas the eligibility of candidature comes at 25! This was covered by number of national newslinks. I am requesting you to reconsider the article. thanking you. Pinakpani (talk) 14:07, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * The problem is I am not sure that does pass our notability requirements. If she gets elected that would be different, but (in effect) anyone can stand if they meet the requirements (and as far as I can tell she did not choose to stand, she was told she was standing).Slatersteven (talk) 14:26, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * You are right Sir, Actually the MP election is the highest level polling system of India and this person is contesting as one of the youngest candidate among the ‎545 seats. Anyway I can only request for just 21 days (23rd May) for the result of such election. If the candidate will loose, the article may be deleted. Thank you. Pinakpani (talk) 14:37, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * That is not how it works, it can be recreated if she is elected, we do not keep articles on the off chance someone might become notable.

 * Draft move to draft until after the election when if she happens to win the article can be moved back to mainspace Atlantic306 (talk) 15:54, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep I think being one of the youngest female candidates for Lok Sabha adds weight to her claim. Also, she is widow of an MLA who was shot dead. I feel (and I might be wrong), this article should be kept. Exploreandwrite (talk) 09:56, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they have not yet won — and neither her age nor her gender automatically make her a special case over and above most other candidates, because if she loses there won't be any enduring interest in those distinctions anymore. To already be eligible for an article today, she would need to be able to show that she was already notable enough for an article for some other reason (e.g. as a writer, as an actress, as an athlete, etc.) besides running as a candidate. Obviously if she wins the seat, then an article about her can be recreated at that time as her notability claim will have changed from candidate to actual officeholder — but holding it in draftspace isn't necessary in the meantime, as we also have the ability to restore deleted articles in the future if things change. We do not keep candidate articles pending the election results just because the candidate might win — we wait until the ballots have been counted, and only then do we start articles about the people who did win.

 * Keep Actually Rupali Biswas had been the party candidate from Ranaghat Lok Sabha seat. The MP election is the highest level polling system of India and Biswas is contesting as one of the youngest candidate among the ‎545 seats. The article passes the Notability and should be kept. -MA Javadi (talk) 20:16, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 2019 Indian general election in West Bengal as usual outcome for candidates who have not won their election. If the subject is elected, then the article can be recreated. --Enos733 (talk) 04:30, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep The article passes WP:GNG and has reliable sources.--SalmanZ (talk) 23:47, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Enos733. I agree with Bearcat's description of the situation, although we have a logical redirection target in this case, so full deletion isn't necessary. —&#8288; 烏&#8288;Γ (kaw) │ 23:59, 08 May 2019 (UTC)
