Deprodded without improvement, simply the statement, "The above said person has been selected as Member of District Planning Committee which is a bery (sic) well status to be known in India." Even taking that into account, doesn't meet either WP:GNG or WP:NPOL. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 22:51, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL pretty clearly. Best, GPL93 (talk) 22:55, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails both WP:GNG and WP:NPOL, This Indian National Congress politician has never won an election. In 2018 state Assembly he was the runner up [1], He was covered in 2013 for the drama and tantrum he threw for getting the election nomination.[2] He still lost though. Nothing notable done by the subject yet. So I dont see any reason for keeping this. --DBigXrayᗙ 23:00, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete. ~~It's a one sentence stub.~~^{Not a real reason, per Phil Bridger.} Let's close this per WP:SNOW. ―Matthew J. Long -Talk-^☖ 23:24, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Being a one-sentence stub is not a reason for deletion, let alone speedy deletion. The decision here should be based on the notability or lack thereof, not the length of the article. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:54, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Phil Bridger It's not that. I am saying this should have been WP:PROD. ―Matthew J. Long -Talk-^☖ 15:35, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MattLongCT - It was prodded, and the prod was contested, hence we are here.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:09, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Onel5969, oh that's fun... My apologies to Phil Bridger then. I have removed the stub comment from my !vote, but the rest still stands. ―Matthew J. Long -Talk-^☖ 21:26, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And you are left with no reason at all. The subject is probably not notable, but your comments here amount to little more than trolling, rather than any proper contribution to this discussion. Would you have approached an article about a defeated candidate for a seat in the Connecticut House of Representatives in the same way? Phil Bridger (talk) 21:40, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Phil Bridger, woah let's leave Connecticut out of this. I am not here to troll. I will apologize again for a bit of an acerbic tone I have wrongly conducted myself here with. However, I generally find it frustrating when we have articles such as this that need several days to go through the whole deletion process, and then the debates here actually end up having more edits than the article itself does.

I simply wanted to type something up quick but not repeat comments that had not already been said, so is why I wroteIt's a one sentence stub. as part of my justification for SNOW. I didn't mean to agitate you when I wrote that nor when I crossed it out after ceding that point to you. As you stated, being a stub really isn't a reason to delete, but the current !vote still has stood unanimous against this article. Thus reveals the point of WP:SNOW. I can't add any new insight here besides that citation. You are free to call WP:SNOW an illigemente assertion in this matter, but I will not yield such any time soon. ―Matthew J.

Delete fails WP:NPOL. Unelected nominees have a much higher bar in terms of the required coverage, and this nominee does not meet that bar. Jmertel23 (talk) 23:31, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The question is not whether the subject meets political notability. They don't, and that isn't the question. The question is whether they meet general notability, and they do not. Therefore:
