Looks like politicians are wiki notable - he is credited. DoNotTellDoNotAsk (talk) 22:44, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep if a reference of his political office, as claimed, can be found.. WP:POLITICIAN, which simply requires having held office at sub-national (provincial) level, which is the case here. Notwithstanding, the article could clearly do with some work! Wikipeterproject (talk) 22:47, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Have added a sourced for him elected to the Karnataka State Legislative Assembly [1] (listed as N.D. Sarveshwar). Satisfies #1 for WP:POLITICIAN as a member of provincial legislature.--Sodabottle (talk) 04:29, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - why Nadkarni was marked for afd - It was difficult for me to end why all politicians are notable though I find it in wiki notable guidelines. Not all M.L.A’s turn into some ministers in India. Likewise is M.Ps (Member of Parliament). I guessed that only those MLAs and MPs who serve as ministers are notable politicians. I failed in my ruling that was interpreted from the deficient guidelines set in wiki. --DoNotTellDoNotAsk (talk) 14:27, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:17, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
