I tagged the article for BLPPROD however the tag was removed without any explanation or adding sources about the person. The subject of the article wrote a book, but I still don't see it passing the WP:GNG - that book was also made as an external link. SefBau : msg  07:49, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep: Passes WP:POLITICIAN for being member of Lok Sabha. ref1 ref2 §§ Dharmadhyaksha §§ {T/C} 09:28, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep: Passes WP:POLITICIAN but need to cleanup.- Jayanta Nath (Talk 10:17, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:SNOW - would seem to pass WP:POLITICIAN and probably WP:GNG. I can't help but question whether WP:BEFORE was undertaken given two of the articles on the first page of regular Google results are detailed reviews of the subject's biography and a Google Books search provides multiple references to the subject's time in the legislature.

 * Comment - Pardon me for my ignorance for not doing my own research regarding the article. Can this be close now? As I believe we have clear consensus that it should be kept. Thanks User:Stalwart111 for the tip. SefBau : msg  12:12, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
