Non notable strategist/politician. Being a Data Analyst for a political party is not notable in itself, and the IT advisor to the Chief Minister has more to do with his political lineage Jupitus Smart 03:08, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

- Delete. Firstly, being a data analyst for a political party is not an "inherently" notable political role that would guarantee him a Wikipedia article just for existing, but the sources here are nowhere near good enough to get him over WP:GNG: one is a primary source, two are glancing namechecks of his existence in articles whose core subject is something or someone else, and three are short employment announcement blurbs that are not substantive enough to be notability-clinchers if they're the best sources on offer. Secondly, this is not a significant improvement over the version that was deleted in 2016 at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gokul Butail. Thirdly, the article was created by an WP:SPA, so there's a possibility of conflict of interest editing by himself, a friend or relative of his, or a public relations consultant he paid to put him in here — the creator of the 2016 version, while not the same username as this one, definitely had a COI, as they've retained the complete deleted original version as their own userpage (which should probably also be deleted, as userspace is not a free webhost for maintaining unmainspaceable articles about yourself either).

- Delete - This was already deleted once, and appears to be conflict of interest. The spamming of a copy of this into user space is not in itself a reason to delete but is an indication of further bad faith. Robert McClenon ( talk) 23:17, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

- Delete - since already deleted once, I think there's a possibility of conflict of interest- -- MA Javadi ( talk) 19:17, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
- Delete The sourcing is significantly lacking and fails to establish how this BLP passes the WP:GNG. Chetsford ( talk) 08:15, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
