• Delete unsuccessful political candidate who is not otherwise notable. Mccapra (talk) 13:17, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. If the nominator did any WP:BEFORE searches, they were poor. India is not my field, but I quickly found SIGCOV at https://www.thestatesman.com/india/tea-worker-turns-poll-candidate-talks-plight-1502956292.html --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:15, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Neither being a council member of a student organization nor being a non-winning candidate in an election pass WP:NPOL, the article is based on primary and unreliable sources that aren't support for notability at all, and one piece of coverage of her non-winning candidacy is not enough coverage to get her over WP:GNG in lieu of having to hold a notable role. Every last manjack or womanjack candidate in every election everywhere can always show at least one hit of media coverage in that context — so the test for making candidates notable as candidates isn't just "a hit of coverage can be found", it's "such an unusual volume and depth of coverage can be found that she has a credible claim to being significantly more notable than most other non-winning candidates", which isn't what that one hit shows.

  If that interpretation of GNG was applied to footballers, we'd cull a huge proportion of them for only getting the routine coverage given to players in matches.

  One item of SIGOV is not enough to meet GNG, which is why I didn't vote to keep. But this application of a GNG+ test is a form of systemic bias. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:14, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
