[edit] H.S. Lyngdoh

Unknown "politician", grand total of 2 googles, 1 non-wiki. Needs a serious amount of context and evidence - otherwise delete. Only the word "politician" and existence of a stub saves this from a speedy tag... ++Deiz 00:09, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

• Playing with the spelling yields 60 unique googles. Sticking with the original line ++Deiz 00:14, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. Article does not establish notability unless resident is an important position in Indian politics. I am placing a notice on the Indian Wikipedians noticeboard to attract their views. Would be good if we didn't speedy it before we had comments from Indians.

• Keep and well done to ERCheck for his research. Being President of a notable political party in a province is notable enough for mine. They are generally part of the national executive for example. Capitalistroadster 00:45, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, non-notable. Adrian Lamo · (talk) · (mail) · 06:23, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment- the [[resident]] is specifically directed to resident (title) which may indicate that the person is a politician of some reasonable note. Agree with Capitalroadster - should get input on title. —ERcheck @ 06:27, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable biography. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 12:02, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
• Abstain for now. English is an important language in India, so we have to be careful about systemic bias. I'd rather hear about notability from some Indian editors before deciding. --kingboyk 02:50, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Definite keep. A Google search on <Hill State People's Democratic Party India Lyngdoh> produced 622 results. It is possible that the term "resident" was a typo and was supposed to be "president". I've added references and external links to the article that shows that the subject of the article is the president of one of three registered political state parties in the Indian state of Meghalaya. This verifies notability. —ERcheck @ 03:39, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per ERcheck Jcuk 23:26, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
