Non-notable mid-level party functionary. No sources used in the article, none found either. Oaktree b (talk) 20:09, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politics and India. Oaktree b (talk) 20:09, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I suppose there was an issue with the WP:BEFORE search, because sources covering this individual were easily found through a Google search. I think the sources I added to the article very clearly establish the notability of Goel as an article subject; I'd suggest withdrawing the nom (WP:CLOSEAFD) to save some valuable AfD resources.

The article has changed since it was nominated, perhaps the electoral commissioner is notable, but I'm not sure. Oaktree b (talk) 21:18, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There are now 8 sources from 6 different publications in the article, all of which provide detailed coverage of Goel's appointment and the subsequent Supreme Court case. On what basis is this individual not notable? Actualcpscm (talk) 21:26, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I don't think the electoral commissioners meet WP:NPOL on its face, but I do think it highly likely that the 3 Election Commissioners of India are notable. There are only 3 of them and they appear to oversee elections in one of the most populous democracies. That being said, someone does need to expand and improve this article. The current sourcing may meet WP:GNG, but there isn't much actually written with the sources in the article. TulsaPoliticsFan (talk) 21:47, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above, referencing looks sufficient. - Indefensible (talk) 19:48, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per nom. It passes the WP:GNG as all the presented references in this article seems to be reliable and independent to the subject. Fade258 (talk) 02:48, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Clear failure of before. Okoslavia (talk) 10:43, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Arun Goel holds the position of the Election Commissioner of India, which is a significant public office in the world's largest democracy. This makes him notable in terms of Wikipedia's notability guidelines for politicians and government officials. Bash7oven (talk) 15:14, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
