- Comment. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi is a city-level rather than state-level government, but it's pretty big, about 11 million residents. On that basis, members of its council are arguably notable. Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 23:55, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Delete unless the article sees significant improvement. Even in the major metropolitan global cities where we do commonly (but not consistently, for reasons I'm about to explain) accept municipal council politicians as notable, the inclusion bar still isn't "instant inclusion freebie because population, regardless of any sourcing problems", and still requires the article to actually contain substantive content about the person's political impact (specific things he did in office, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects his term in office had on the development of the city, etc.) supported by reliable source coverage in real media. But this is just a primary sourced "Subject is a city councillor who exists, the end", which isn't enough. Bearcat ( talk) 13:50, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: The population of Bhalswa is 63,537 which means Yadav represents 63,537 peoples in Delhi City Council which is many more than constituency of Mizoram Assembly or Sikkim Assembly. 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙♂️ Let's Talk ! 10:52, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- The number of people who do or don't reside in the constituency or ward that a politician represents is irrelevant. What makes state legislators notable enough for Wikipedia is not the population of their district, but the fact that they all have an equal voice in passing statewide laws regardless of the population of each individual district — so the fact that a city councillor may happen to represent a comparable or greater number of voters than a state legislator does has nothing to do with anything, because the population of a state legislator's constituency has nothing to do with the state legislator's notability either. The notability of a city councillor hinges on writing a substantive article about his political significance that's supported by GNG-worthy reliable sourcing, not on how many people do or don't live in his ward.

- Delete there's no possibility to satisfy WP:NPOL. While I think there's reasonable grounds to include New Delhi within the elements outlined in WP:POLOUTCOMES ("precedent has tended to favor keeping members of the main citywide government of internationally famous metropolitan areas"), it's important to emphasise the "tended" part and certainly not in the complete absence of even a single SIGCOV RS. Searching in English and Hindi (अजीत यादव आम आदमी पार्टी) I find no sourcing beyond passing mentions amongst a plethora of candidates or announcements of the result. There's nothing from reliable sources to write that's not already included in 2022 Delhi Municipal Corporation election#Result_by_ward. Regards, -- Goldsztajn ( talk) 11:19, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Fails WP:POLITICIAN as municipal officials don't meet guidelines unless they have significant coveage. Belichickoverbrady ( talk) 01:36, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
