 * Keep. This is regarding notice of deletion of the article Siddharth Bishnoi, which I have added recently. With due respect, I want to put some facts and references about why this article should remain on Wikipedia.Siddharth Bishnoi is a well-known youth leader in the region of Panchkula and Kalka of the state of Haryana. He is the State's Spokesperson from Haryana for the Indian National Youth Congress, appointed by India's oldest National Political party (Indian National Congress) and regularly appears on TV debates. Please check the references attached at the bottom for proof of his appointment( I have asked from one of my friends to collect some news articles about him and He sent me screenshots of many news articles about him. I am trying to find online links to all these news articles). He is also the founder and managing director of the Ch. Bhajan Lal foundation, which regularly appears on the news for charity activities in the above-mentioned region. Siddharth is also regularly covered in newspapers for his political activities. I have collected many news articles for the foundation and Siddharth and attached a link to them at the bottom of this note. All of these are from within the last year.He is also the most active and prominent youth leader in this region who campaigns for many major national and state level leaders during the parliamentary and assembly elections in various states. Examples of news coverage of his campaigns are attached at the bottom of this note.He is the grandson of former Chief-Minister (3-times) of Haryana Mr. Bhajanlal Ji and Son of former Deputy Chief Minister of Haryana, Mr. Chader Mohan Bishnoi. He left his job in London and known for working for the poor people of Kalka and Panchkula region. He has organized biggest cycle rally in Haryana (known as clean air cycle rally) and covered more than 200 villages to inform people about the importance of trees and environment-friendly approaches. His cycle rally got lots of coverage in local media (please see the references).He is the most likely candidate from the Kalka assembly from Indian National Congress in upcoming elections in Haryana state and he is a well-known personality in politics of Haryana, So I'd like to request you to keep the page alive on Wikipedia as this will help people to know about a social and political leader.Please check the coverage from different newspapers of Panchkula and Kalka for Siddharth Bishnoi from below google drive link. All the newspapers are of National level newspapers and are in the Hindi language. If still there is anything required, Please let me know. I'll try to do that. But I am sure after seeing these news articles anyone can assume that he is really a notable public figure of Haryana state. So I'd like to request you kindly not to delete the article for Siddharth Bishnoi.He also writes articles for various newspapers, I have found some of his articles in Times of India. Here are the links to his articles Article on February 11, 2019 and on March 29, 2019  (This one has a lot of news articles about Siddharth and Ch. Bhajan Lal Foundation) The article needs cleanup and to be de-stubbed to better establish his notability, that's all. Sushilkrpro (talk) 15:44, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete per WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:NPOL. Generally speaking, given the amount of attention local politicians get from local media coverage must be significant. Best, GPL93 (talk) 18:42, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 14:50, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

But still, I am trying to collect the online resources for these news articles. However, It's sure he is a notable personality in Haryana state. But as per the above comment of the respected member, I'll try to collect some more references and will add those into this discussion. Sushilkrpro (talk) 13:01, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
 * You Only vote once. Second, politicians have a higher bar for notability because all local politicians garner some coverage by the local media. Thirdly, I'm going to ask that you disclose any possible personal connection to Siddarth Bishnoi per WP:COI. Best, GPL93 (talk) 14:32, 20 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete per GPL93. Though there are a few mentions of the individual in local newspapers, they are merely passing references. --regentspark (comment) 14:55, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Being a political party apparatchik is not an instant notability guarantee per WP:NPOL, so the notability test he would have to pass is WP:GNG — but the references here are a mix of primary sources (e.g. a directory of his bylined writing for newspapers) and glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things, not coverage that is substantively about him for the purposes of counting toward GNG. He was also being filed in false categories that were applicable to his father and grandfather, but not to him — and notability is WP:NOTINHERITED, so the fact that his father and grandfather held NPOL-passing political offices does not exempt him from having to pass GNG in and of itself either.

Respected members, first of all I'd like to answer the question I have been asked about the personal relation with Siddharth Bishnoi. I don't have any relation with him and even I have never met with Siddharth Bishnoi personally. I listed the article as I am living in the same state (Haryana) and I read lots of news about him. Second, If I'd have any relation with him then till now I'd have provided hundreds of the news links (references) of all the articles which are in the google drive. But I am not connected with him, So I am not able to provide the links of those news. One more thing that most of the news articles about him are in Hindi and I am not sure any of the respected members have seen those till now or not. So with due respect I'd like to request to kindly not to delete the article and put this article in drafts(or something else, I am not sure), so that I can improve the article over time and can publish it later, once I'll collect all the reliable references about Siddharth Bishnoi.
