Keep. The subject has worked over multiple states namely Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Also, name "Nagendra Nath Tripathi" has been included in his Wikipedia page along with "Nagendra Ji". "Ji" is widely used among Rastriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Getting stuck in lift got wide coverage by many newspapers as it was during time of Bihar elections and was called controversy by senior leaders as also mentioned in article. (

Honorific titles such as "Ji", "Sri", etc., are excluded from article names (see
WP:NAME). As people have argued here, getting stuck in a lift is a

Delete. Just to be clear, the subject is an officer at the state level of a particular political party, and is not an elected state-level official. Hence, no inherent notability under
WP:POLITICIAN. And as noted by the nominator, getting stuck in a lift doesn't confer encyclopedic notability.

Delete The subject's name could be a source of confusion. The surname "Ji" doesn't seem legitimate to me, and is most likely the
gender-neutral honorific used in India. I see a Hindustan Timesarticle stating his name as "Nagendra Nath Tripathi". In any case, apart from brief mentions, either names don't return many results, despite the recent Bihar/UP elections getting wide coverage. — Stringy Acid (
