Yogendra Puranik

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Hardly goes beyond WP:GNG. Not sure a city council member of a city district is notable enough to warrant is own article, considering none of the other members do. The article is filled with WP:OR, and it's an obvious WP:COI situation going on with >90% of the article edited by one user named "Yogi3677", Yogi being the nickname of this politician himself, itself added by him without any source. See their contributions. He's literally editing using Wikipedia to write his own biography. Yuorvee (talk) 03:38, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep: A bit of procedural business first: it's certainly bordering dishonest by the nominator to state that the entire thing is the subject's autobiography; the article was originally created by, and cleaned up many of the self-inserts that the subject put in. The nominator suggests that "over 90% of the article" is self-edited; a 2 second search disproves that suggestion. And of course, while 52% authorship is still pretty bad as far as WP:COI goes, it's not necessarily a WP:TNT-worthy amount. The COI authorship will also go down considerably when all of the uncited bits are removed.
 * Now on regards of notability, I actually have to agree with the nomiantor with their statement of "Hardly goes beyond WP:GNG." Yeah ... GNG is all that's needed. Subject obviously fails WP:NPOL, but passes WP:GNG; "first Indian elected in Japan" is a solid claim, and there is considerable sourcing both in the Japanese Wikipedia article as well as in currently uncited news articles in both English and Japanese to prove that the subject passes WP:GNG.

 * Keep passes WP:GNG .There is a lot of coverage in the Indian Media all major newspapers have covered him as he is the "first Indian elected in Japan". Have added references.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 05:59, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Japanese language article shows in-depth coverage in reliable sources. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 23:14, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep City Councilors are not included in WP:NPOL. But here, there is enough for WP:GNG. Being first - while is not a part of any guideline, but if it's big enough to generate substantial interest of media, it can help. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 01:41, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: Passes WP:GNG. Nitesh003 (talk) 03:40, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
