Delete Local officials are not automatically notable, and I don't see the kind of news coverage needed to satisfy GNG either. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 06:28, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: He is mayor of a metropolis city and we keep mayors of metropolis in US so why not we keep of India. 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙‍♂️^{Let's Talk !} 04:08, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It’s a district capital and mayors of district capitals in the U.S. are not generally notable. Mccapra (talk) 08:17, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment BottleOfChocolateMilk is correct about the standard our community uses to judge local elected officials. We want to see coverage of how a local elected official action impacts their community, especially with a retrospective perspective. What is interesting in this case is that the subject has received a lot of coverage for his praise of BJP leader Suresh Gopi and speculation about the mayor's political future. I wonder if that coverage is regional or national in nature, and to what degree this is a WP:BLP1E flurry of coverage. --Enos733 (talk) 16:28, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Local politician who seems to have a bigger head than his notoriety. Speculation is nothing. Lauding, endorsing, or supporting other political figures is not inherited notability. Insufficient coverage per WP:SIGCOV. Bearian (talk) 02:25, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
