Abdul Majeed Khan Marwat[edit]

AfDs for this article:
Abdul Majeed Khan Marwat (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

This is a procedural re-listing of this AfD, based on the outcome of a recent deletion review discussion. There was considerable concern over the the presence of sockpuppets, and both discussions were highly divisive. The original justification was that the article failed Wikipedia's criteria for notability. As this is a procedural nomination, I am neutral. IronGargoyle (talk) 15:59, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What Notability? What special has he done apart from holding a certain position as a bureaucrat like thousands of others in Pakistan. Can you name one which conforms with Wikipedia:Bio? -- MARWAT  00:41, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep It must be kept in order to pay encomium to the officers of police who are doing their duty in war torn part of Pakistan . I went through sources and find the gentleman holds a senior position. Fulfills WP criteria.

  • keep I believe there has been enough debate on this article and i think now it should be kept since it qualifies WP Bio noteability.[[[Special:Contributions/119.73.6.184|119.73.6.184]] (talk) 03:45, 6 September 2009 (UTC)]] — 119.73.6.184 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Closing Admin - Just like the earlier AFD the anonymous IPs are back to sabotage this AFD as well. Please note that all the above three Keep are from IP Addresses who have only contributed to this AFD. My request would be to identify them as users with one or few edits or purpose built log-ins. Clearly someone related to the gentleman is doing this and this is no less then the sockpuppetry exhibited in the earlier AFD. None of them would however, explain the merits of this entry as asked by me. Please take note of this. -- MARWAT  14:32, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: Not a vote tag added; SPAs tagged. Tim Song (talk) 17:26, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Delete Nothing more than a police officer's job like in every town of the world. AliUmer (talk) 11:36, 7 September 2009 (UTC) !vote by suspected sockpuppet (indef blocked) struck. Tim Song (talk) 17:29, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as joint chief of police in a province with a population of over 20 million - larger than all but two US states and many independent countries. By any half-way sensible criterion that would mean that this is an appropriate subject for an encyclopedia article. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:47, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: The listed references mention the subject but are not about him. Notability requires more than just getting your name in the paper. I'm sure the subject has an important job and he does it well, but Wikipedia does not exist to recognize that kind of thing.--RDBury (talk) 02:24, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete He has remained my class-fellow, while studying at University of Peshawar and still is one of my close friends. However, he is not holding a notable job. Every city has a police officer like him. WikipedianBug (talk) 08:38, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep This article must be kept. Abbasmaj (talk) 15:21, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
But Why?? just to vote a keep here and giving no reasons whatsoever. To bring it on record I have just found out that the name of this gentleman's son is Abbas Majeed and the user Abbasmaj looks a clear combination of Abbas and Majeed. This user is also the original creator of this vanity article too and would not explain about the genuine merits of keeping this article over here though. -- MARWAT  01:08, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Doesn't meet the requirements of WP:BIO/WP:ANYBIO. Just having an important-sounding title isn't sufficient, he has do accomplish something notable for the sources to report upon. Favonian (talk) 17:16, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, due to lack of sources that specifically talk about him. A police chief doing his duty, the sources aren't about him. His name appears because he was the police chief at that moment. --Enric Naval (talk) 19:46, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
