Subject fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOLITICIAN. An article on this subject was deleted in September 2017. The article is certainly longer than the deleted version, but does nothing more to establish notability as coverage is pretty week (an FEC filing and State Bar of California web page as two of the six sources, two of the other six focusing on Nancy Pelosi, and the other two simply talking about surveilance). This article appears to be written as a hit piece on Nancy Pelosi being too far to the right ("Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi helped kill the USA Rights Act,[4][5] the latest among several times when she impeded surveillance reform efforts") and with much WP:PUFFERY of the subject ("Strongly influenced by his identity as an immigrant and experience as a person of color, the various parts of Buttar’s career and creative work have been guided in common by a commitment to social justice") that to delete all the content suffering from those problems would leave almost nothing left. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:20, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, this entry is clearly not written from a NPOV. I also tend to think Mr. Buttar is not sufficiently notable. Would agree with deletion, or at the very least some heavy editing to remove what is an obvious attempt to use Wikipedia to smear Ms. Pelosi. Mr.dooley (talk) 13:54, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom; doesn't meet WP:NPOL or WP:GNG. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 16:43, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for challenging incumbent representatives in election primaries — but nothing else here is an article-clinching notability claim, the sources aren't getting him over WP:GNG, and the article does indeed seem to be lapsing into anti-Pelosi advocacy that violates WP:NPOV.
