Mohammad Usman (Indian politician)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I tried WP:BASIC before coming here and have failed to find any WP:RS about this person. The infobox claims he won a seat from the Lucknow West (Vidhan Sabha constituency) but he hasn't. Probably a INC member but failing WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Creator also seems to be WP:SPA with WP:COI. The article was recently deleted by User:DGG when it was at Mohammad Usman (Veteran Congress Leader) for G11 - Unambiguous advertising or promotion but I have not seen that version of article. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 09:37, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The references are many but they are in 1980s newspapers and books. Where to get them online to meet your reference criteria?? 13:46, 8 December 2016 (UTC) User:Adil Usman

Did he win any election? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:09, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Adil Usman 13:43, 9 December 2016 (UTC)No he did not won, but contested on INC seat. The only Congress candidate to secure around 15000 votes more than anyone ever in that constitutency since the Indian Independence. Also he was the Secretary of Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee of Uttar Pradesh and Working President of District Congress.Along with other contributions to the society, country and to the general masses of Lucknow.Adil Usman 13:43, 9 December 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adilusman009 (talk • contribs)

Adil Usman 17:47, 12 December 2016 (UTC)Mohammad Usman's father, Late Haji Hussain Ali was jailed with Jawahar Lal Nehru in Lucknow jail. His uncle and grandfather too were jailed, but his father was released on the basis of under age. The other were jailed for three months. After the Independence, Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru visited Lucknow, near Firangi Mahal and awarded freedom fighter pension to all those people who were jailed in Lucknow Jail along with him. Mohammad's Usman uncle and grandfather didn't accept the pension and denied on the basis said by his grandfather " Hum Madre Vatan Ki Kamai Nahi Khaenge", and the PM was speechless on this note. But again I don't have any internet link to validate this.Adil Usman 17:47, 12 December 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adilusman009 (talk • contribs)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. An unsuccessful politician does not get a Wikipedia article just because of the number of votes he happened to get in the process of losing the election — WP:NPOL accords notability to holders of political office, not unelected candidates for it. But there's no other credible or properly sourced evidence of notability even being claimed here at all. Also, I have to presume this is a conflict of interest — creator's username suggests a direct family relationship of some sort (I'm guessing "father-son", even if I can't prove that outright, but "uncle-nephew" or "grandfather-grandson" wouldn't change anything either.)

Comment, the UPCC secretary-ship could potentially be enough for a weak keep, but it needs to be referenced. --Soman (talk) 01:26, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 19:05, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Having a key leadership position in a major national party would indicate notability. --Soman (talk) 20:28, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:POLOUTCOMES is clear that routine coverage in elections (which I presume exists) is not sufficient for a candidate who has never been elected. I don't see any other coverage which indicates why the subject is notable. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 14:43, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
