Hello! You deleted the article [[Sanjay Sinha]] as A7, which is reserved for biographies (etc.) making no credible claim of significance. Here, the article contained the claim that Sanjay Sinha was a former member of the [[Bihar Legislative Council]], an Indian state legislature, and thus a claim of significance (and even of notability) by [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)/Subnational politicians]]. I checked the three sources given (thanks to Google Translate) and none of them verified any claims about Sinha, except one mentioning his name in passing among attendees of some event but not actually saying anything about him. I was about to remove them and nominate the article for [[WP:BLPPROD]], which seems more appropriate than A7 for this situation.

: Hi there. You are absolutely correct. I somehow missed the subclause about the subject being a former council member. I'll reverse the deletion immediately. Thanks for pointing out the mistake.

A7 speedy deletion of Sanjay Sinha
Hello! You deleted the article Sanjay Sinha as A7, which is reserved for biographies (etc.) making no credible claim of significance. Here, the article contained the claim that Sanjay Sinha was a former member of the Bihar Legislative Council, an Indian state legislature, and thus a claim of significance (and even of notability) by Wikipedia:Notability (people)/Subnational politicians. I checked the three sources given (thanks to Google Translate) and none of them verified any claims about Sinha, except one mentioning his name in passing among attendees of some event but not actually saying anything about him. I was about to remove them and nominate the article for WP:BLPPROD, which seems more appropriate than A7 for this situation. ChaotıċEnby(talk · contribs) 12:12, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
