Article does not cite reliable sources. Relies heavily on a single, and not independent source. No significant coverage in reliable RS found. So doesn't pass WP:GNG or WP:POLITICIAN. M A A Z T A L K 10:04, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep The subject is a current member of a provincial legislature and thus pass speciality notability guideline WP:POLITICIAN. What made you say "Article does not cite reliable sources." Its amusing that the websites of KP Assembly does not deem reliable to you. Government websites are primary but are not prohibited and can be safely used for verification purpose. Though I agree more secondary sources should be cited. Have you even bothered to follow Wikipedia:BEFORE? --Saqib (talk) 12:02, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Yes, I read WP:BEFORE and I know that primary sources can be cited to support content in the article but not to establish notability. M A A Z T A L K 20:24, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

keep Again, this article clearly passes WP:POLITICIAN, and is necessary to reduce the structural bias against non-European people on Wikipedia. Jwslubbock (talk) 15:38, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep notability is established by the WP:POLITICIAN guideline based on the rank of his political role, which is confirmed in reliable (but not independent) sources published by a government body. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 23:56, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: member of state assembly, verified by page from that assembly - clearly notable. PamD 10:06, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
