Tsering Samphel edit
- ... that Tsering Samphel, a Congress Party candidate in the 2014 Indian general election, used to be president of the Ladakh Buddhist Association?

There are plenty of references that mention Samphel included in this article, but with the exception of a few "default bios" on web pages, the mentions of Mr. Samphel are all of the "this guy said something about someone else". I can't find anything that really asserts Mr. Samphel's own importance. Am I missing one? Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:27, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- There are plenty of assertions of notability in the article, but the one than unequivocally passes WP:POLITICIAN is "In 1987 Samphel was elected to the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly". --Soman (talk) 13:05, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
