fails to meet basic WP:GNG. being former Vice-Chairman of the Punjab Bar Council doesn't makes the subject notable. —Saqib (talk | contribs) 19:24, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - as a lawyer, not notable. Does the "Punjab Assembly" rank as a sub-national parliamentary body? Then maybe. Bearian (talk) 16:30, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if he was elected to the Punjab Assembly. I'm having trouble accessing the pap.gov.pk website to verify this. --—Saqib (talk | contribs) 16:53, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If he was elected to the assembly, that might help notability. Pakistan politics is not my area of expertise. Oaktree b (talk) 00:14, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete non-notable lawyer, political roles seem trivial. I don't see much evidence in the prior AfD's either; people's feelings seem to have been hurt over some descriptions given of the person, but that's not really helpful for notability in AfD. Oaktree b (talk) 00:13, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The prior AfD was right because he meets (just barely) the WP:NPOL criteria. Jtrrs0 (talk) 16:36, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: as was pointed out in the last AfD, he clearly meets WP:NPOL. He was a member of the Punjab provincial assembly. See [1]. I've also cleaned the article up to remove the more eggreious unsourced claims and promo material. I tried looking for more sources and could not find any. If people want to remove the claim he was vice-chairman of the Punjab Bar Council that is ok with me given I can't find any source for that, but that shouldn't affect notability which is established with simply being a member of a state-level legislature.
