More than 70% of the article is copied from erienewsnow.com/story/39526269/the-primitive-tribe-bonda-is-not-meant-only-for-photography-they-deserve-better-life-dambaru-sisa-mla-odisha-state-legislative-assembly-india. After removing copied material, this article would not have reliable sources. Only The Pioneer newspaper has 5 lines mentioned about Sirsa. I don't think that is enough to sustain this.

• Keep: An untidy article but that is a matter for improvement. The subject is verifiable as an elected MLA (e.g. "Odisha Sun Times", 2014) which is sufficient for WP:NPOL. AllyD ( talk) 08:02, 23 November 2018 (UTC) reply

• Keep: Above evidence are sufficient to keep this article under WP:NPOL category — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gyanprakashsingh1990 ( talk • contribs) 12:29, 23 November 2018 (UTC) reply
• Keep. Yes, this still needs some improvement, but the sources do exist to improve it with. Even if they're weakly sourced in their current state, we know for a fact that holders of office at the state legislative assembly level get reliable source coverage — and passing GNG is a question of how many sources exist to improve the article with, not of how many sources are already in the current version of the article. Copyright problems don't necessarily have to force the deletion of the article in all instances, because articles can be easily rewritten to resolve the copyright problem — and since the copied source is actually a press release on an open press release distribution platform in an American local media market where an Indian MLA would not be expected to organically generate real news coverage, this isn't even really a copyright violation — rather, it was that classic Wikipedia referencing error, where people who misunderstand how our referencing rules work think they can self-publish their own self-written referencing to user-generated platforms as a substitute for organic media coverage. That's obviously not how it works, for anybody — but proper referencing does exist here, and the creator has already taken the note and started showing some of it. So let's chalk this up to good faith newbie error and move on. Bearcat ( talk) 17:20, 23 November 2018 (UTC) reply
