Notability tag since 2010. Non-elected politician. Fails WP:NPOL. UtherSRG (talk) 18:31, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep Well, doing a google search turned up his Kurdistan Parliament biographical page which is sparse, but seems to indicate WP:NPOL as a member of a regional legislature. This article needs major revisions and some serious sourcing work, but I think he may meet WP:NPOL.

TulsaPoliticsFan, while members of the Kurdistan Region Parliament do pass NPOL, that is a different person from the subject; the subject was born in 1944 while that person was born in 1974. Curbon7 (talk) 18:45, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If that's the case, then I'll strike my keep vote. TulsaPoliticsFan (talk) 18:48, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Article does not describe any activity that would get an "inherent" notability pass under WP:NPOL, but this isn't reliably sourced anywhere near well enough to get him over WP:GNG for it. As noted above, this also appears to be interfering with another person who has a stronger notability claim, and should probably be deleted so that the other person can be started.
