Not notable - sources say he managed a family member's campaign, which does not meet WP:NPOL, nor is there evidence of meeting WP:GNG as sources are brief mentions only. PROD was removed by article creator. Melcous (talk) 14:43, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL -- Padavalam🌂  ►  18:26, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. To be fair, until January of this year the article implied in its phrasing that he was an actual MLA, which would be why it flew under the radar — it didn't literally say that outright, but it implied it in the way his relationship to the constituency of Mau was phrased. But indeed, there's no evidence whatsoever that he ever has been an MLA, and all the sources actually say is that he was a campaign manager for his father (the actual MLA). But notability is not inherited, so he isn't entitled to have an article just because his father has one, and being campaign manager is not a notability-clinching claim of significance. This is exactly why I always say that even with the "inherent" notability granted to MLAs, we still require at least one reliable source to properly verify that they actually hold the claimed office.
