Local politician, does not meet the criteria at WP:NPOL. Sourcing (or lack of) is purely routine local media coverage. 𝔓^420°𝔓^Holla 14:47, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• He is a state level representative, not local politician. MrMkG (talk) 14:48, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you MrMkG for your contribution. Could we please centre this discussion around how the available sources establish WP:BLP and WP:NPOL. Thank you, and may God bless you.𝔓^420°𝔓^Holla 14:57, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I believe nom has misunderstood, he's not a local politician but a state politician. Per WP:NPOL members of state legislatures are notable. Here's a profile from the Indian Express AusLondonder (talk) 15:06, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per AusLondonder. The source they link confirms that he's a district-level politician for Navsari district.— Moriwen (talk) 15:32, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Moriwen: Thanks for that, just to clarify though he represents that district in the Gujarat Legislative Assembly, the state parliament of Gujarat, so he's at an even higher level of government than district level. AusLondonder (talk) 15:41, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're quite right! I stand corrected, thanks.— Moriwen (talk) 15:43, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep -- the subject meets WP:NPOL as a member of a province-wide legislative body. JTtheOG (talk) 16:19, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Meets WP:NPOL. Simple search brings up many reliable media news sources that can be used to expand the page on this politician. RangersRus (talk) 20:24, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Subject passes WP:NPOL as an Indian state legislator. There appears to be sufficient coverage to surpass WP:NOPAGE. Curbon7 (talk) 00:28, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Meets WP:NPOL. Youknowwhoistheman (talk) 10:12, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as legislators no doubt pass WP:NPOL. – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:18, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. The article probably should be improved, but the state legislature is not a "local" office, state legislators automatically pass WP:NPOL in a way that municipal politicians do not, and better sourcing is available to expand this with. Nomination appears to be mere tit-for-tat retaliation for an article the nominator created about a smalltown mayor being listed for AFD, but smalltown mayors and state legislators are not equivalent topics.
