Keep. Seems to pass WP:GNG, in my opinion. This article about the subject in The Times of India and these two in the Calcutta Telegraph would represent significant coverage in reliable sources. Beyond that, the subject is a prolific author of academic texts for which Google Scholar is full of citations and reviews. A Train^talk 12:05, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Plenty of references and appears notable to me. Egaoblai (talk) 16:23, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm less familiar with UK politics than I should be - how big of a position is a councillor? He only got 1,965 votes, and it doesn't appear anyone ran against him (three candidates ran for three spots.) It appears he fails WP:NPOL. I haven't looked to see if he passes WP:NAUTHOR or WP:NPROF. There have been a couple feature articles on his losing candidacy, but the articles are actually about him, which makes WP:GNG pretty borderline. I typically would vote delete in this situation if he only had a political notability claim, but will leave this for now in case he's a notable professor.

- This person isn't included or excluded by WP:NPOL; the London Assembly would be the body whose members are presumed notable. I'm not convinced either way regarding GNG; are there any articles about his academic research? I'm always skeptical of articles such as [1] about low-level candidates where the only claim of notability is being a member of a diaspora running for office. power~enwiki (π, ν) 20:57, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per A Train passes WP:GNG and a member of the ~~London Assembly~~ London Borough of Newham and H index taken in combination do think he scrapes through GNG .Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 22:27, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

They're not a member of the London Assembly, they're a member of the council of the London Borough of Newham, which is a more-local body. power~enwiki (π, ν) 22:58, 1 June 2018 (UT

Keep. Article could use some work, but passes WP:GNG. It's possible he passes WP:ACADEMIC too, looking at citing patterns of his work: 1, 2. Basie (talk) 04:14, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It seems like there are several reliable independent sources that reference the topic, and this person has done several things that have been mentioned in many different online newspapers and such. I would definitely say it passes WP:GNG.--SkyGazer 512 ^{Oh no, what did I do this time?} 14:29, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:GNG - borderline as an academic, borderline as a politician, but all together clearly notable. Daask (talk) 20:52, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep While his H-index seems a bit on the low side for WP:NACADEMIC, this is also a rather specialized area in which he's working and I could see it would be reasonable it is high enough to pass the guidelines. Chetsford (talk) 23:39, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
