A politician who is only a candidate in the upcoming Kerala election. Basically fails NPOL as the subject has been never elected into any legislative bodies in the past. There is also no significant coverage. Hence fails GNG also. Kichu🐘 ^{Need any help?} 16:50, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, fails NPOL. --RaviC (talk) 13:40, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in elections they have not won, and this article does not suggest that he would pass any other notability criterion independently of having to pass NPOL. No prejudice against recreation after election day if he wins, but nothing here is already grounds for a Wikipedia article today. Bearcat (talk) 16:38, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: It is clear he has been elected to a lot of local service organisations and sanghas in Kerala. However, he has not been elected to any state or national body, so fails WP:NPOL --Whiteguru (talk) 11:01, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Being a candidate to contest an MLA seat is not a reason why a person gets a Wikipedia article — politicians get articles on here when they win election to, and thereby actually hold, a notable political office, not just because they ran as a candidate. Being a magazine editor is not a reason why a person gets a Wikipedia article — magazine editors get articles when they've been the subject of critical analysis about the significance of their work as magazine editors, not just because you show a photograph of them doing their job. And new comments in AFD discussions go at the bottom of the page, not the top. Bearcat (talk) 02:46, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
