Deletion of Thanga Tamil Selvan

Comment: Yes, the article needs some sourcing improvement — but people who have verifiably held seats in national and state legislatures pass  #1 right on its face, and we ultimately evaluate notability based on the ''existence'' of suitable sources and not solely on how many of them are already present in the current version of the article. Legislators ''do'' get media coverage, and Google News is your friend — there are media hits ''out the wazoo'' here, more than enough for a keep regardless of the article's current state, and heaven knows I could easily find even more if I could read or write Tamil

Comment: Obviously passes  per sources that take less time to find than it takes to write a deletion nomination. And the nominator's tagging of an article that said that the subject was a current MLA and former member of parliament for speedy deletion per  is very difficult to interpret as anything other than racism. Would you have dreamt of doing the same with an equivalent article about a former member of the US House of Representatives or the UK House of Commons? The fact that the nominator is an administrator makes it even less likely that this was an innocent mistake
