Fails WP:POLITICIAN and WP:GNG as Thakral was only a candidate that was not elected. He has not held any other public offices. Sources do not seem reliable and more are needed for additional verification. LefcentrerightTalk (plz ping) 16:53, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in elections they did not win — the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. But this makes no other claim of preexisting notability for other reasons independent of the candidacy, and is not referenced anywhere near well enough to make his candidacy somehow a special case of greater notability than other people's candidacies.

Delete per nom. No demonstrated notability. Running for election is not, in itself, notable, as previously explained. -- Begoon 01:34, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
delete the the subject does not meet the requirements of WP:NPOL. According to the article, subject is state president of "speaks party". But this is a non notable party (according to wikipedia's guidelines), and again even with that, subject fails WP:NPOL. As the subject doesnt have significant coverage, he fails general notability criteria as well. —usernamekiran(talk) 01:36, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per above, almost always delete pages about unsuccessful candidates, and I don't see consensus changing anytime soon. Bearian (talk)
