Sarada Mitra

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non notable politician. Being the general secretary of the youth wing of Communist Party of India does not impart any notability. All the references cited in the article are WP:UGC and closely associated with the person. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL  Jupitus Smart  18:21, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep - as the national leader of the youth wing of what was then the largest opposition party in the 2nd most populous country in the world, Mitra would have been notable in his epoch. Note the following from Press Trust of India 1984 "CPI LEADER DIES -- Mr Sarada Mitra, member of the CPI National Council died at his residence in Prague on Sunday might , reports PTI" (, p. 80) --Soman (talk) 01:07, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep In the late 1950s, early 1960s, the CPI was getting 11 million votes nationally (around 10% of the vote) and this person at 22 was selected as leader of the youth wing of the party; asserting non-notability on the basis of being a youth leader is misleading, the question to be asked regarding notability is "youth leader of what?" In this case, at the time, youth leader of what was probably the second largest communist party in the non-communist world. Moreover, positions as Secretary of the WFDY and editor at World Marxist Review indicate significant status within the international Communist movement.

 * Delete. Notability is not a question of the things the article says, it's a question of the quality of the sourcing that the article uses to support the things it says — but the references here are entirely primary sources and/or blogs that are not support for notability, with no evidence of reliable source coverage about him in independent sources being shown at all.
