A difficult AFD. Shah is Mayor of the city but that doesn't qualify WP:POLITICIAN. Most of the coverage seems sensationalism and hence fails WP:GNG. The article fails WP:NPOV. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 17:42, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Might be notable: Surat is a major city, and it would be surprising if Shah doesn't pass WP:BIO. But in its current state, the article looks like a whitewashed promo piece, and TNT may be a good idea. Need to see if a neutral version exists to revert to.

Delete the key is good sourcing. Maybe getting rid of this article will convince people to stop giving default passes to undersourced leaders of other major cities. For the record Surat has over 6 million people.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:55, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Does anyone really believe that an article about the verified deputy mayor of a city with a population of over 6 million anywhere in the western world would be deleted? We give an automatic notability pass to the many legislators of US states with a lower population, let alone their deputy leaders. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:49, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: There's enough coverage regarding the lockdown incident here to pass WP:BASIC imo. As Shah is a major city's deputy mayor, WP:1E is passed too. Java Hurricane 01:54, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The subject is notable and has recieved enough coverage. He has been also elected as the mayor of a major Indian city.Kichu🐘 ^{Need any help?}
Keep: As a creator of the page. The subject is very much notable as he was the deputy mayor of a major city of Gujarat which is ranked 2nd cleanliest city of India. --Sankoswal (talk) 15:21, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
