James Shri Krishna[edit]

Subject of article does not meet guidelines for notability per WP:BIO. No major media coverage or significant contributions. I cannot find enough information to verify the article. Nv8200p talk 18:26, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep, notability is met ("Political figures holding or who have held international, national or statewide/provincewide office") as a former member of Fiji's parliament[1][2]. Verifiability weak but possible.[3][4] Probably destined to be a perm stub.--Dhartung | Talk 19:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for being a national-level political figure. Also, I have added two sources to establish notability. -- Black Falcon 00:49, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Read Fijian newspapers (there are several online), and you'll come across him plenty. I am incredulous that American and British users judge people to be "not notable" just because they haven't seen them mentioned in some American or British publication. This guy was a member of parliament for five years and is therefore notable. David Cannon 10:25, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep per David Cannon. I was alerted to this page by the removal of David Cannon's comments from Nv8200p's talk page. So the comments did do some good despite Nv8200p trying to hide them. Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 12:59, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep He is of WP:V and from my POV whatever Davicannon creates is of notability and verifiable and Iam from Fiji and this person is a former politician of notability and I totally agree with what David mentioned above (If you dont know them doesnt mean they dont exist)--Cometstyles 14:50, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - well known Fijian politician and worth keeping to keep uniformity with the various articles pertaining to such members of Fiji's parliament. Sources are proven so what's the ish? Matt Bray 11:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
