First you reviewed the article, now nominated for deletion? I don't know what are you thinking, with all due respect. This is a chairperson of public servant post. It is a well known post. I don't understand why nominated for deletion. Normal rookie (talk) 11:45, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is the norm for reviewers to mark the article as reviewed when nominating the article for deletion. The review merely let search engines to index the article. At this stage, you can say that the reviewer (not just Onel, I would too) has given up reviewing by themself and is letting the community decide if the article is notable.

Your response suggest that the post is notable. Notability isn't inheritable on Wikipedia for most cases. With the current sources, I don't see how the subject is notable, if the only thing of note is his appointment, which can be easily summarised and shown at Chairman of the Election Commission of Malaysia.

If there is no improvement made to the article, i.e. addition of other sources to establish the notability of his prior appointments (better yet if these appointments had let to a wider societal impact), I am inclined to nominate this article as a delete. – robertsky (talk) 13:46, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable civil servant, likely not high enough in gov't to warrant notability. I don't find any mentions in RS Oaktree b (talk) 16:45, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete He gets coverage for saying statements on behalf of the commission. But no coverage is about him as the subject as required by WP:SIGCOV. LibStar (talk) 09:09, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
