None of the sources given in the article are actually about him alone, just about events where he spoke or the like. He doesn't appear to be the coverage of any reliable sources, although I'll happily withdraw if actual sources about him are found. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:48, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

There are a lot of mentions, it's possible that more significant ones are not in english. heather walls (talk) 06:11, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete as per the nomination.--Juristicweb (talk) 00:19, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep The subject is Secretary CPM Jammu (India) and Sham Prasad Kesar is in the opposition party of Jammu and Kashmir for a long period; CMP is a minority party in the state. The article has scope for further development with lot of reliable sources like Times of India, Zee news, The new Indian Express which are reliable newspapers of India. We may watch for development of article.-Rayabhari (talk) 10:33, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * But the thing is, I checked those coverage, and the coverage is for the party, and not about him. The fact that the party is notable is not disputed. However, notability is not inherited and thus notability does not extend to him unless he is the coverage of actual independent coverage, instead of that of his party.
