The result was speedy keep‎ in accordance with the guidelines set forth in WP:NPOL (Wikipedia: Notability of Politicians). These guidelines establish that politicians who have served in legislative bodies at the international, national, or state/province-wide level are generally considered to be notable.

The article fails WP:GNG as only two sources are there and most of the stuff it contains is not backed by any source. Also it seems that author had close connection with the subject as the image added in the infobox also shows the subject himself as author.-Admantine123 (talk) 18:04, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
