The result of the debate was Keep --Allen3 talk 12:51, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
this person has stood for public office a few times, but has been very unsuccessful, being a councillor for a year only. 81.97.114.168 20:32, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete not notable. David | Talk 22:15, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep factual. Trollderella 22:16, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as he is notable for a number of reasons. (I improved the article). Punkmorten 22:19, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep if he is the first British born asian councillor. Secretlondon 04:25, 18 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- That is extremely unlikely. A friend of mine is a British-born Bangladeshi councillor and was first elected in 1998, the same as Qassim Afzal. David | Talk 08:24, 18 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, wouldn't that make it a matter of which result came in first, if they were elected in the same election? Clair de Lune 08:33, 18 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I looked into this further and he clearly isn't the first British-born Asian councillor. Mehboob Khan was a councillor in 1996. Clair de Lune 00:08, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak keep - a good example of someone who I wouldn't have bothered researching and writing about, but now that someone has, he may as well stay. OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 14:50, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete - can't list every ex-Councillor here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.23.25.107 (talk • contribs) 09:50, August 19, 2005
- delete - not a notable person,agree we can not list every ex-Councillor— Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.252.192.9 (talk • contribs) 16:29, August 19, 2005
- Delete - He claims to be the first British-born Asian Councillor, but clearly he wasn't (as per Clair de Lune) - what else is he claiming which is factually untrue? - Colin Armstrong— Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.252.192.8 (talk • contribs) 15:39, August 20, 2005
- Delete this person is known in the Liberal Democrats as as self-publicist. Local politics is littered with people like him. Rhyddfrydol 01:21, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
