Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Muhammad Rafiqul Islam Khan (3rd nomination)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Failing verifiability (WP:V) is a compelling reason for deletion. The two "keep" opinions are disregarded because they do not address this problem, instead contending that the subject is notable because of his political position. However, considering that nobody here has been able to verify that the subject exists and/or holds that position, the argument is beside the point. Sandstein 20:28, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep. General Secy of a mainstream and important political party of a country is certainly notable. What nominator needed to do is, tag it with refimprove, not AfD. – nafSadh did say 04:21, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Agree that the general secretary of a major political party is notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:03, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Weak delete - I agree, the general secretary should be notable, but this doesn't even appear to be his name. The general secretary at the time was Maulana Rafiqul Islam Khan, not Muhammad. See this and this and he doesn't appear to be in the position anymore. There website lists Shafiqur Rahman as the General Secretary. In addition, very little decent news coverage exists of the man.

Delete per the points raised by JTdale above and the nominator. It is not demonstrated through reliable sourcing that the subject of this article is the general secretary of a major political party. The "Keep" !votes do not address the very important verifiability concerns. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 06:36, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
