This subject fails WP:NPOL , Bagga has never been elected to any legislative body. Additionally he also fails WP:NBIO as being a mere national secretary of a political party's youth wing does not make one notable. The sources cited here also do not provide WP:SIGCOV and those that do fall under the purview of WP:NEWSORGINDIA as undisclosed press releases because they do not identify an individual author/reporter and have only generic bylines with promotional tone or are puff pieces.

• Delete: The subject clearly fails WP:NPOL. Currently, the Subject is a contestant on Bigg Boss 18, but all the news coverage is solely related to their participation in the show. As the nominator rightly pointed out, the coverage primarily comes from WP:NEWSORGINDIA sources. Hence, I don't believe the subject satisfies WP:GNG either.

• Delete: Fails WP:BLP. Cited with poor sources that does not meet with the guidelines. Garudam ^Talk! 13:03, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: As per nomination. Zuck28 (talk) 13:33, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Soft Delete Subject was a candidate but never elected to any political post. This is yet another case of WP:TOOSOON. Maybe in the future they can be elected into a position, I see they have some interesting profile too. Cases of kidnap and other atrocities unfortunately all these are not enough to make him notable to own an article right now. Tesleemah (talk) 13:59, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. I agree that this subject fails WP:POL and WP:BIO. WP:SIGCOV is also in question due to WP:NEWSORGINDIA. As stated by Tesleemah, this may be a case of WP:TOOSOON.--DesiMoore (talk) 15:23, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: there seem to be some useful sources in the article about his arrest and participation in a reality show. Though without bylines, the headlines of some of the sources do not suggest being promotional pieces. Mekomo (talk) 15:46, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: I started this article and since creation it has become longer than the ones in Hindi and Tamil. The edit by User:DreamRimmer suggested to me that the subject was notable for multiple events so is there a fundamental difference by language wiki? If notability is different for the English wiki the link should redirect to Bigg Boss (Hindi TV series) season 18 instead. Moondragon21 (talk) 18:03, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - too soon. Pure conjecture. Bearian (talk) 03:29, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Being a house mate in Bigg Boss Season 18 and a politician who just fought but not elected does not qualify Notability guidelines especially WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Taabii (talk) 13:40, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, there is sufficient coverage to pass SIGCOV. Deccan Herald has 22 articles about Bagga, all unrelated to the reality show, see [3]. Take for example this article from 2022 ("Accustomed to being around controversy, Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga has again made it to the headlines after getting three states involved in his arrest"). See also more recent coverage in Hindustan Times, Indian Express, India Today, DNA India, as well as older coverage in The Hindu, The Hindu, again, Outlook, The Tribune, The Telegraph, Firstpost, etc etc. And this is without dwelving into non-English media outlets. Regardless of what one think regarding of the individual, it is clear he is a public figure from multiple events and controversies over a number of years. --Soman (talk) 11:05, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
