Fails WP:GNG. When it was at AFC, I had left a comment asking whether he'd won any elections. They've elected to move it to mainspace, without demonstrating that he has. Based on my search, he's lost an election, but not won any. Fails WP:NPOL. Usedtobecool ☎️ 15:22, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom, fails WP:POLITICIAN. Theroadislong (talk) 15:25, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Thapliyal is not the assemblyman for Rudraprayang, that is Bharat Singh. This subject merely lost the election for that constituency. Fails WP:NPOL. Curbon7 (talk) 22:14, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Does not pass NPOL as they are not elected and lacks significant coverage to meet GNG. -- Ab207 (talk) 16:28, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles for running as candidates in elections they did not win, and falsely portraying their loss as a win is not the way around that issue — but the article doesn't even attempt to claim that he would have preexisting notability for other reasons besides an unsuccessful candidacy.

• Delete He fought election for Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly but defeated. Fails WP:NPOL. DMySon (talk) 07:47, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
