WP:BLP of a civil servant, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NPOL. This was originally written (I've corrected it) to describe the subject as a "politician", but that's not accurate: "deputy minister" is a civil service role that just makes him a bureaucrat, and not a political office that would garner him an automatic free pass over NPOL #1 -- and the sole "reference" is his staff profile on the self-published website of the ministry he works for, rather than any evidence of media coverage about his work in the role to get him over WP:GNG for it. Simply put, existing as a person with a job is not "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have a lot more than just a staff profile on his own employer's website for sourcing.

Delete – I agree with Bearcat that this isn't the sort of position that confers automatic WP:NPOL notability, and my searches find none of the sort of in-depth coverage required to meet the WP:GNG. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:09, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
