The result was delete. The argument that holding such a position is a free pass to automatic notability does not appear to be supported by policy or precedent. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:44, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep.Being the state president of a national political party is an automatic WP:NPOL pass. Akhiljaxxn (talk) 13:06, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, it isn't. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alan Dunlop (politician) for one example of the deletion of an article regarding a provincial/state president. --RaviC (talk) 14:38, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Alan Dunlop wasn't a provincial/state president.He was only a board memberof his party. Akhiljaxxn (talk) 16:42, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's not true. He was the chairman (leader) of the party ([1]). --RaviC (talk) 18:05, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Being the state president of a national political party is an automatic WP:NPOL pass. plenty of sources in the article itself indicate that the person is independently notable and pass WP:GNG.Akhiljaxxn (talk) 06:03, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete being a state head of a political party is most certainly NOT an WP:NPOL pass. Just recently a former chair of the Republican Party of California was deleted due to lack of sources necessary to pass WP:GNG. Best, GPL93 (talk) 01:30, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Being a state head of a political party is an automatic WP:NPOL pass.The article itself indicate that there is in-depth coverage in reliable sources that are indepndent of the subject is pass WP:GNG.Akhiljaxxn (talk) 06:03, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Akhiljaxxn I mean, it's clearly not given that articles on such individuals are routinely deleted if they don't pass GNG. NPOL applies to "Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature". This applies to government statewide office, not political statewide office, there is a major difference between being a government official who is elected and an officer within a political organization.

Delete per nom. Subject fails GNG as well. Aman.kumar.goel (talk) 11:05, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Shashank5988 (talk) 14:25, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination, fails to fulfill notability and promotional in nature. QueerEcofeminist^{"cite! even if you fight"!!!} [they/them/their] 14:26, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
