Keep From a state like Kerala having only 20 parliament seats, political parties put forth only their notable leaders. Faisal is a young leader who contested to National Parliament from Malappuram against P.K Kunhalikutty representing CPI(M). That particular seat was never won by any party other than IUML. That doesn't make the important and closest opposition leader irrelevant.

He is the only leader who have narrow downed the Margin for CPI(M) by the closest figures. He is therefore a relevant regional leader. Further he was state office bearer of the largest youth organization in Kerala- DYFI. He is currently an elected representative in Malappuram District Panchayath aswell. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashique2020 (talk • contribs) 14:56, 10 May 2020 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: Ashique2020 (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this XfD.

Panchayat councils are not an WP:NPOL-passing office. Nothing below the level of the state legislature confers automatic inclusion rights in Wikipedia — even mayors only get in the door if they're really well-sourced, and are not automatically entitled to have articles just because they exist, let alone county or panchayat councillors.

Delete. People do not get articles just for being candidates in elections they did not win, and losing by a narrower margin than somebody else lost by is not in and of itself evidence that this losing candidate is more special than that losing candidate. The article is not actually stating or reliably sourcing any significant evidence that he could be considered a "major local political figure" under NPOL #2 despite failing to pass NPOL #1: that criterion is meant primarily to cover mayors, not unsuccessful candidates, and even if you wanted to claim notability for serving on a panchayat council, that's still not a matter of just saying he's a panchayat councillor — it would be a matter of writing and reliably sourcing genuinely substantive content about his impact as a panchayat councillor. So outside the candidacy itself, there's nothing else here that establishes that he has preexisting notability for other reasons, and nothing that would satisfy the ten year test for enduring significance.
