Fail of WP:GNG and WP:POLITICIAN. nearlyevil 665 18:21, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify because it appears they do pass WP:POLITICIAN, being a "Deputy Governor of Jigawa State", which makes him equal (in perspective and such) to a US deputy state governor, aka the lieutenant governor. So WP:GNG is nulified due to him being presumed notable. However, the article's quality is extremely bad and very few sources. I suggest making this a draft and letting the creator and other editors work on it for at least a week, then afc to move it back to main space. The afc would give even more time to help improve the article. But this shouldn't be deleted since it actually passes the 2 Afd nomination reasons.

Comment/Question for @Nearlyevil665:, would you be willing to explain more of your reasoning for the nomination? I am only asking because normally, an Afd nominator normally give slightly more than just listing "fail such and such policies". Elijahandskip (talk) 21:16, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- ??? Listing which policies it fails is usually more than enough. When I look at the AfD logs for e.g. 1 May, I see complete nominations "Fails WP:GNG.", "Nothing notable about him, fails WP:GNG.", "Non-notable cricketer, fails WP:GNG. ", "Native advertising. Fails WP:NCORP. ", "Fails WP:BIO. No indication why she is notable. Fails WP:SIGCOV. Puff piece.", "No indication of notability. Fails WP:SIGCOV. WP:ADMASQ", "No effective reference for a BLP. Fails WP:SIGCOV. ", "Does not meet criteria of WP:NPOL or WP:NACADEMIC.", "No significant coverage. Fails WP:BIO.", ... If you have an issue with one of the claims, then explain why and discuss it. But simply claiming that nominator should do more in their nomination than list the policies an article fails is just plain wrong. Fram (talk) 07:33, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't do a personal attack on me by adding words 'to my mouth' that I never said. I never "claimed that nominator should do more in their nomination", I simply asked a question. I am allowed to ask questions and give my opinion behind it, but please, don't accuse me of stuff I never said. Elijahandskip (talk) 21:21, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Deputy Governor of Jigawa State is a state-wide office. Hence passes WP:NPOL The Sokks💕 ^_(talk) 08:36, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets NPOL. Can be improved as an article. Elli (talk | contribs) 21:11, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
