Delete per nominator. NewYorkActuary (talk) 22:38, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article is unreferenced and needs a major rewrite, but as an MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly) for the Indian state of Punjab he is notable per WP:POLITICIAN. I have found this by way of confirmation, but we need better sourcing, which may be a problem for someone who was active in the 50s and 60s; I will leave a message at WikiProject India to see if anyone there can help.

Keep, Passes WP:Politician, verified now. —SpacemanSpiff 15:12, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- Politicians as per WP:NPOL are generally considered to be notable (except in the hoax cases) where this article is defiantly not a hoax see this and this. It is very challenging to improve the article and find references but this could not be the reason to delete the article. In addition, there are possibility that the person have alternative name spelling or name in local language which includes Hindi and Punjabi. — Sanskari ^Hangout 15:17, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep now that sourcing has been provided (I have stricken my earlier posting). Note that the subject's first name is spelled differently in the article title as compared to the spelling in the body of the article. Does anyone know if this is a typographical error?

Well spotted. Both sources give "Narain", and Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL turns up a lot more references than the links for "Narian". The source linked from my !vote above has "Narian", but it is evidently a typo. The article should be moved to Narain Singh Shahbazpuri (sorting the capitalisation at the same time), but not yet because it causes confusion to move an article during AfD.
