 * Comment I think the editor who created this has made a mistake. The subject of the article is the leader of the student union at Allahabad University. Of the references provided, 1,2,4,5 and 6 are about this person in Hindi media. If the sources are reliable then there is a case that the subject passes WP:GNG though not a very strong case, because the coverage is about a protracted single incident. References 3 and 7 appear to be about two completely different people who happen to have similar names and have got swept up in the process of creating this article.

 * This is also a possible case of G5 please see Sockpuppet investigations/Thakurjiofficial. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 06:15, 11 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Even if one of the people referred to in the references (I can see references for at least three people amalgamated in the article), TNT might be our friend as the article is in shambles.  Java Hurricane  07:47, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete There is insufficient notability in being the head of a students' union to pass WP:ANYBIO. serial   # 11:43, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - No chance that this person can deserve an article given how not-well-known he is, and how bad the article is. RedBulbBlueBlood9911 (talk) 11:44, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm not convinced the sources cited are all talking about the same person; with the broken English of the article, it's hard to ascertain. Subject certainly fails WP:NPOL and WP:ANYBIO. This article should be developed in the Wikipedia of the native language of the subject's area. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 14:30, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. As always, holding a role in student government is not a notability claim, I'm still waiting for an answer as to why editors in India seem so much more uniquely convinced that it would be than editors anywhere else on earth are, and the article is not reliably sourced even close to well enough to make him more special than everybody else in student government.

 * Delete a non-notable unelected politican. Someone needs to search out some of the legacy 10-plus year old articles on unelected US politicians and remove them.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:05, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
