While @TheChunky:'s edits improved it drastically from its cache recreation, I still think the same issues raised at the prior AFD remain in terms of source independence and depth. See, specifically Nomadicghumakkad's source assessment. Star Mississippi 13:07, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The subject may not meet the notability criteria outlined in WP:NPOL, but it's evident that he qualifies under WP:GNG due to substantial coverage in national media. Notably, a prominent national newspaper, Hindustan Times, even using his surname in a headline, further establishing his notability and significance in public discourse. The HT reference is just one example, there is good and enough coverage that covers subject under WP:GNG. Also the past AfD is one year old.❯❯❯ Chunky aka Al Kashmiri (✍️) 04:18, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As per The Hindu news report, the chairman's position held by this individual is a notable post in India's national-level politics, as the National Minorities Commission operates at the national level within the government.❯❯❯ Chunky aka Al Kashmiri (✍️) 04:41, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep passes GNG, and in my opinion, NPOL. AryKun (talk) 13:21, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Also, nomadicghumakkad’s source assessment is absolutely ridiculous. They seem to see any syndicated report by PTI as unreliable? PTI is just a news agency, it’s the Indian version of Reuters or AP, and it definitely is independent of the government, so I really struggle to see where he’s coming from.

@AryKun:, many of the sources fall under WP:NEWSORGINDIA. For instance, this reference has a byline of "Tribune News Services' which indicates a press release. Same with this one marked as written by "Express News Service." And another one here. I will do a breakdown of the sources tomorrow as I am only on a short time tonight. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:13, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
