May still fail our general notability guidelines. I struggled to find multiple reliable sources, but perhaps in Urdu. SarahStierch (talk) 22:40, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

 *  Delete - Highly unpopular. Bladesmulti (talk) 08:20, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Funnily enough, we do not usually accept this as a criterion for deletion. We do still, after all, have an article on Adolf Hitler! -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:00, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Decision changed, wasn't aware about his parliamentary position. So Keep, and Necrothesp, Hitler is popular though. Bladesmulti (talk) 10:09, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
 * How are you defining popular? Saying "Highly unpopular" implies the gentleman in question is highly unpopular, which most certainly applies to Hitler (in most of the world, at least). Do you mean the article doesn't have many viewers? That's certainly not a criterion for deletion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:07, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
 * My bad, when i said "popular" it meant for the amount of viewers instead. Sorry Necrothesp, will explain next time. Bladesmulti (talk) 11:23, 18 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. Terrible article, but appears to meet the criteria of WP:POLITICIAN as he has served as a member of a sub-national legislature. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:07, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per Necrothesp. He meets WP:POLITICIAN by having been an elected member of the Punjab assembly. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:31, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - He is verifiably a member of the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab passing WP:POLITICIAN. -- Whpq (talk) 17:32, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
