The result was Delete and redirect to Central Election Commission of Albania. For the unlikely case that somebody might actually search for this name, I'm leaving a redirect to Central Election Commission of Albania. Randykitty (talk) 21:18, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

I don't think that members (not even president) of an election commission are notable per se. The one sentence stub has been here for years with a notability tag and almost without (one weak link only) sourcing. This as an extra, because it's not a notability guideline: No other WP, including the Albanian, has seen a necessity of making this person an article. I present it to your views. Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 22:15, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - A Highbeam search gave 0 results. On google I found a few Albanian and Kosovo newsmedia, As far as I can tell, without any knowledge of Albanian, he was a member of the election committee, who was sued for "corruption" in a months long trial. It is hard to judge noteworthyness on translated texts. Currently however none of this is in the article. The current version of the article lacks a clear reason for notability and lacks reliable secondary sources. - Taketa (talk) 06:08, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. As the commission only has seven members I'm guessing that these are quite prominent people in the Albanian establishment. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:07, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * - He is one of seven in a small country, not the chair or vice-chair. The deputy election commissioner of Australia (vice chair in a big country) will probably not be considered one of the top people in Australian politics. Same goes in Albania, It is a commission, and there are other commisssions, making the membership of commissions in a country alot higher then seven. I agree the chance exists he is noteworthy, but I think it should be made clear by reliable secondary sources. - Taketa (talk) 14:41, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * That's not a great analogy, as four of the six Australian commissioners do have articles! -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:43, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * The Australian commissioner, 1 person, sometimes has an article. He is comparable to the chair of the Albanian committee. The next 6 people in line in the Australian committee do not have articles. The subject is not the chair, but is one of the 6 people. Taketa (talk) 14:46, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah yes, I see that now. My mistake. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:30, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete No significant independent coverage, merely a link to the CEC's webpage. He's not even mentioned in the Central Election Commission of Albania article and being a member of an appointed commission does not make him a notable politician.131.118.229.17 (talk) 21:19, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
