Comment: this person was a member of the 50-person municipal legislative council (conseil communal) of Founex (pop. 3,800). This fails WP:POLITICIAN by a long shot, and even "lawmaker" is a bit grandiose. No opinion about his notability otherwise. Sandstein 11:51, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Being a municipal councillor in a small town is not an automatic WP:NPOL pass, the article shows nowhere near enough sourcing to make him a special case among an otherwise non-notable class of topic, and his ethnic background doesn't automatically make him special in the absence of a WP:GNG pass either. Every possible combination of birth country and officeholding country on earth either already has or eventually will produce a "first ever" person with that particular combination of countries in his pocket — so that's not a notability freebie in and of itself for a person who hasn't passed any other notability standard, and "Bangladesh-Switzerland" does not occupy some special sphere of notability unmatched by other combinations.

Delete the article seems to want us to think that Ahmed is in the national legislature. No matter how small the municipal council of Founex was, it would not be a sign of notability. With 50 members, being on it is absurdly far from notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:04, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
