I'm not seeing a good demonstration meeting GNG. The references in the article (including the bare urls at the bottom) don't offer significant coverage (except the pragmaticwealth one, which is not independent). Other news mentions are generally just brief mentions and coverage of him speaking about the Uniform Civil Code proposal, and not actually about him. There might be additional sources in Arabic, but the current state of the article is not worth much, and if other sources exist it would probably be better just to start over anyway. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 13:43, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- First of all, the nominator misunderstands the criteria for deletion. A "good demonstration meeting GNG" is not required. Only the existence of sources matters. See WP:ARTN. Furthermore, this person easily meets WP:NPOL given that he was a member of the Bihar Legislative Council, which is a major state office. Finally, he also meets GNG easily, making it very clear that nominator did not carry out the obligations imposed by WP:BEFORE. Just for instance, consider [1], [2], and so on. Look, e.g., at this search in GNews. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 14:13, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me, but I understand the criteria for deletion just fine. A "good demonstration meeting GNG" being the existence of sources is exactly that and I never implied otherwise. Neither of the sources that you give are actually about him either, but are trivial mentions as well, as I said about sources that I saw when searching. I definitely DID do a search (per WP:BEFORE) and I find your statement implying otherwise more than a little insulting. I see that you searched differently than I did, knowing to leave out "Hazrat", which gives quite a few more hits. I was not aware of the nature of the Bihar Legislative Council, but it does appear to meet NPOL, so I'll withdraw this nomination, but try to be a bit more polite next time eh? — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 14:39, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
