 * Delete The article fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG.S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 11:58, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Being the president of a political party is an automatic WP:NPOL pass.- Akhiljaxxn (talk) 13:59, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
 * , thanks for participating. WP:NPOL doesn;t state anything about presidents. Are you sure you linked the right policy ? Even his party seems to be non notable.  D Big X ray ᗙ  15:04, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I linked the right policy. Tushar is one of the major local political figures who has received significant press coverage. They are already in the article and a simple google search will give you more, thus the subject meets WP:GNG.- Akhiljaxxn (talk) 17:31, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
 * The "major local political figures who have received significant press coverage" criterion in NPOL #2 is for mayors and city councillors, not state party presidents or non-winning political candidates. Bearcat (talk) 22:14, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Nowhere in NPOL#2 "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage." specifies that it only for mayors and city councilors, not state party presidents or non-winning political candidates.WP:NPOL also says just being an elected local official or an unelected candidate for political office does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline. Tushar is a businessman who also has an affiliation with SNDP and has received significant press coverage, therefore passing WP:GNG, and "Keep" is my vote.- Akhiljaxxn (talk) 05:28, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
 * The fact that a guideline may have been badly written does not make me remotely incorrect about what was intended by it. Bearcat (talk) 19:33, 22 February 2020 (UTC)


 * comment if the subject passes WP:GNG, then they dont have to pass SNG. But regarding politicians, press releases, and routine coverage have to be taken into consideration. —usernamekiran (talk) 22:41, 15 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep.On the basis of reliable source he clearly meet WP:GNG-- Padavalam Kuttan Pilla   Talk  10:38, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
 * , and what those sources are ?  D Big X ray ᗙ  10:41, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:NPOL. Party presidents aren't always notable. Lefcentreright  Talk  (plz ping) 20:58, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NPOL, WP:NOTINHERITED, WP:SOAP, WP:RS, and WP:MILL. He's never won any election, and we almost always delete articles about losing political candidates. His notability is not inherited automatically as president of a small party. The party in particular is a far-right-wing pro-Hindu party, which concerns me that this might only be here for publicizing its extreme views. My belief is the same regardless of where they're on the spectrum. Proponents have not argued specifically which sources are reliable - I don't see any recognized sources. This is by all appearances a run of the mill, very ordinary political activist. Bearian (talk) 17:41, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NPOL and WP:RS. President of a marginal party, de facto just a WP:MILL local politician. Tayi Arajakate  Talk 20:00, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
