Praveen Singh does not meet the qualifications for a Wikipedia page, especially under the WP:NPOL notability guidelines. His role as a block pramukh lacks national significance and does not represent a state or province-level office in India. Note: This page is being nominated as part of an ongoing New Page Patrol (NPP) training exercise. Charlie (talk) 13:58, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Clearly fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG; the sources do not provide WP:SIGCOV. Best wishes to the nominator for NPP School. GrabUp - Talk 14:57, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this article should be kept as Praveen Singh has been a notable political figure in Uttar Pradesh with significant contributions to regional politics, being a local i am aware he's going to contest for block elections in 2026 from Machhrehta Block. In case of India, the Panchayati Raj system still prevails and for Indians the block levels are really significant offices in government. IndianQuest (talk) 17:59, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@IndianQuest: Let him contest and win the Block-level election; only then can the article be recreated and retained. Currently, he does not meet the notability criteria according to Wikipedia’s guidelines. GrabUp - Talk 03:09, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GrabUp block level elections are insignificant. He must win either national elections (to become a Member of Parliament) or state-wide legislative elections (to become a Member of the Legislative Assembly). Charlie (talk) 03:52, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CharlieMehta: I thought Block-level elections meant MLA elections, as every MLA is elected from blocks in a district. GrabUp - Talk 04:29, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The hierarchy is as follows: Gram Panchayat (village level), Block Panchayat (a group of Gram Panchayats at the intermediary level), and Zilla Panchayat (comprising several Block Panchayats). A constituency district typically includes at least one city municipal corporation, a few municipal councils, and several Zilla Panchayats. To represent the area, an MLA must be elected across the entire constituency. Charlie (talk) 05:43, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explaination😉 GrabUp - Talk 06:31, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes very well explained. So far he has only been contesting for block elections. IndianQuest (talk) 08:15, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per nom. Poor and unreliable sources from a personal self published youtube videos, Facebook and WP:NEWSORGINDIA. Fails WP:NPOL. The degree of significance of the subject and of role as politician is not enough to warrant a page on the subject. RangersRus (talk) 12:29, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: does not meet the qualifications for a Wikipedia page, especially under the WP:NPOL notability guidelines. Youknow? (talk) 14:06, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per RangersRus. Even if he’s a party block (committee person), that’s not notable. I was an equivalent, county committee member, and that’s not notable. I also agree that the sourcing is not reliable. Bearian (talk) 00:56, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
