This is a PROD contested by DGG with the rationale "member of a legislature: all suchare always notable". However, he is merely a member of a gram panchayat (local council for a small village of less than 9000). Extremely unlikely to be notable. —innotata 03:19, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I misinterpreted. He does indeeed notsee,m to have been elected to a national or state legislature. If there are no objections, I'll restore the Prod. & delete accordingly. DGG ( talk ) 03:55, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG and also is not a member or former member of a national, state or provincial legislature.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 05:02, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
To be fair to DGG, the article as written is a bit confusing and could easily be misinterpreted as asserting that he holds a legislative seat if the reader isn't already familiar with the actual terminologies in Indian politics. Regardless, it is indeed the case that local councillors do not pass WP:NPOL, and this article as written is not well-sourced enough to claim WP:GNG. In addition, there's an evident conflict of interest here, as the creator (User:Bittu Mondal Jhuruli) has a username that includes both the subject's surname and the name of the town the subject is asserted to have been born in — and gives his father's name on his user page as "Asher Ali Mondal", virtually guaranteeing that there's some kind of direct family relationship between the subject and the creator. (This would also explain some of the writing tone, such as "It is that he is not so highly educated man so sometimes he got helps from others for what about fault or right for his personal knowledge that certainly improved him to the higher position of politics and political knowledge.") Of course, a COI wouldn't be a fatal flaw if the subject passed a notability rule and could be properly sourced up — but it does the article no favours if those things aren't true. Stone cold delete.
