Does not meet the criteria for Wikipedia's Notability of Politicians guideline ( WP:NPOL). Nominated to the Rajya Sabha but not elected, and has not yet taken on the role.

- Agree, we can make MP-elect articles per NPOL clause. Read this, Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels. This also applies to people who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️( 🗨️ ● ✉️ ● 📔) 00:16, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep He is a member-elect of the Rajya Sabha, so obviously meets WP:NPOL #1. The article needs improvement and cleaning up, not deletion. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse ( talk) 03:02, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Withdraw and Keep Passes WP:NPOL criterion 1 for the member-elect. Also, the reference from The Hindu, shared by Curbon7 and added by me, satisfies the requirements of WP:THREE; which also dispelled my uncertainty regarding his appointment through election, as I had previously assumed it was merely a nomination.
