This article is not about a significantly notable person, and it does not have information or references (WP:BLP). Noopur28 (talk) 21:14, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep The person is a senior minister in state government. The reliable references are already there .The nomination is surprising.Shyamsunder (talk) 02:29, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Shyamsunder. The subject passes WP:POLITICIAN. The article is a stub, but it has sufficient references. • Gene93k (talk) 00:38, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per WP:POLITICIAN. Noopur, while unsourced BLPs can be deleted, we are required to make an effort to source them if they are notable. And the subject is clearly notable per our notability standards. Please go through WP:BIO.--Sodabottle (talk) 09:14, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Shyamsunder. -- Joaquin008 ^(talk) 11:38, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that several such Chhattisgarh minister articles of the present government have been created with no content at all. I don't have the resources to improve these but during tag and assess I saw that if a user can make the effort of creating an article and adding a tag on talk page, why has no information been added to the article? Also, I am confused about the notability of every minister in every government that comes to power. Do they constitute enough notability? Noopur28 (talk) 11:43, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I am confused about the notability of every minister in every government that comes to power. Do they constitute enough notability. Yes members of provinicial/national legislatures and cabinets are deemed notable in wikipedia. Read the notability criteria for people and politicians again.

if a user can make the effort of creating an article and adding a tag on talk page, why has no information been added to the article? That is no grounds for deletion. Even if it has a single line, that is information and has potential for expansion (especially when the subject is notable). Don't tag articles because of its size or because it has no content. The solution is expansion through regular editing process, not deletion.--Sodabottle (talk) 14:15, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sodabottle is right. One liners are worth keeping too. I wish to see a one-liner FA someday. :) -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 12:52, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I know that its not enough but I have added references from several English news channels as well as newspapers. Nanki Ram Kanwar is one of the faces of the Indian Government's fight against Naxalites, and as such has sufficient mention in the Indian Dailies. I have also added links from the government's own websites and in my experience that alone makes a person suitably notable for Wikipedia. Wikishagnik (talk) 19:45, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep Passes WP:Politican and as per Sodabottle above.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 16:33, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Per above reason. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 12:49, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
