U P Joseph

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable political candidate fails WP:BIO. The article isn't sourced but you can read about him here. I also found this which mentions him injuring his arm as a youth leader, but this and other mentions are in passing. This is what the article's creator said at Talk:U P Joseph: Agreed that a person doesn't qualify for the notability criteria just because of his candidature for a political election; but a person who is representing a powerful political combine, and has a chance of winning the election does deserve to be considered notable. This article is more of a work-in-progress article and you will find references and citations, and yeah enough reasons to justify notability in a couple of days. please hold on. thank you! - User:Leftnwrite 06:28, 18 March 2009 While U P Joseph has held various appointments, I don't think he is notable enough for Wikipedia. I don't want to discourage this new user, but Wikipedia is not a place to advertise goods, services, or political candidates. - Boston (talk) 08:56, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Current position itself is not notable for encyclopaedia, no need to look at past records.--GDibyendu (talk) 14:00, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I nominated this for deletion, but strongly disagree that there is no need to look at his past. The problem is looking doesn't reveal much.  --Boston (talk) 14:03, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
