• Delete, not yet elected, fails WP:NPOL. Alternatively redirect to Mathurapur (Lok Sabha constituency) when there's a section for the 2019 election. Cabayi ( talk) 13:59, 22 March 2019 (UTC) reply
• Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they have not won — but this offers neither evidence that he has preexisting notability for other reasons, nor evidence that his candidacy has generated an unusually large volume of coverage, compared to what every other candidate also gets, to make his candidacy special. Obviously it can be recreated on or after election day if he wins the seat, but nothing here is a reason why he would already be eligible for an article today.

• Delete. Fails NPOL, Fails GNG (I could not find a single good WP:RS of which they are a main subject). May change in the future, but a straightforward Delete now. Britishfinance ( talk) 10:10, 30 March 2019 (UTC) reply
