WP:BLP of a local politician, not properly sourced as passing WP:NPOL #2. The notability claim here is that he's chief executive of a district, which is not an "inherently" notable role that guarantees a Wikipedia article -- politicians at the local level are notable only if you can write a genuinely substantive and well-sourced article that contextualizes their political significance, such as by addressing specific things they did in the job, specific effects they had on the development of the district, etc., and are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because you can minimally source the fact that they exist.

Delete. Abubakar is not even a district chief executive: he is a municipal chief executive, which is a lower-level position that certainly does not afford inherent notability under WP:NPOL. Since I was unable to find coverage of him that would satisfy the GNG, it seems that he is non-notable. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:35, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
