Just because of MLA's father and criminal allegations, the person dosen't pass WP:N. Godric ki Kothri^{talk to me} 06:23, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The subject is entirely lacking in any claim to notability. -The Gnome (talk) 10:12, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep the entry is already cited to very substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. Articles entirely about this political amd religious leader who's wielded influence over his region for decades. Without even looking I cam guarantee that there are lots more sources discussing him.

Comment @FloridaArmy: Influence in the region doesn't mean that it's a encyclopedic item. By this logic I would right to create the articles about the saint who has wide influence in my region and also quoted by the independent sources.-- Godric ki Kothri^{talk to me} 03:46, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. Infkuential saints are notable as well. FloridaArmy (talk) 10:38, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Godric ki Kothri, FloridaArmy, I know about revered saints but about influential ones I first hear about now.  :-) The Gnome (talk) 07:34, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete seems to be a cross between WP:INHERITED, WP:NOTNEWS, and WP:BLP1E; does not meet GNG Chetsford (talk) 14:53, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep - searching "गाजी फकीर" gives a number of other results. This article is very much about Fakir and briefly summarizes criminal allegations about him. This article outlines his role in Jaisalmer politics since the 1970s. This article notes his relationship with his sons and their political achievements. It also states that he was a Jaisalmer district council member. This article is the most recent one I found, crediting Fakir with the a very recent election of a new district head in Jaisalmer.

• Delete: the criminal information does not rise to the level of encyclopedia notability and there's nothing better. Does not meet WP:ANYBIO; sources are routine for the criminal allegations present. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:44, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
