Good afternoon! Thanks for the comments, indeed the article is still very raw. I tried to improve it, added sources and removed unverified information. Could you check, please? @Paul W @Shellwood ~~~~ AlibiKazken (talk) 10:37, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have redrafted the article so that the career section is in prose rather than a bulleted list. There are no reliable sources for the subject's life and career before 2000; for biographies of living people (BLPs) we normally expect a minimum of one reliable citation per paragraph. The Reuters and OIC sources confirm the subject held various offices, but are routine reporting of other matters, not expressly about Baidaulet - Wikipedia notability criteria requires subjects to have "received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other."

Comment. I don't really know, since I'm a fairly new editor and don't know Wikipedia policy inside and out yet, but it looks like most of his appointments are political, and that he has served on national and international bodies. It's not clear to me what the rules are with regard to international organizations, but since they are funded by governments I think it would be reasonable to regard them as extensions of governments. If that is the case, then I think that he would qualify under WP:POLITICIAN. Of course, I may be wrong, so hopefully someone who has more experience can comment.
