 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. On a pure nose count this would be a "no consensus", but AfD is not a vote. The "keep" arguments do not refute the assertion that the references available are insufficient to demonstrate notability, and some in fact support it.

Attaullah Tarar

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The article claims the subject is a minister, but he isn’t, he’s just an official spokesperson and therefore does not pass WP:NPOL. Mccapra (talk) 10:52, 6 June 2022 (UTC) Keep –  well, he's a prominent politician, PLMN's legal advisor and spokesman, also official spokesman of Government of Punjab, and advisor for interior ministry's affairs to CM Punjab (some sources claims him to be interior/home minister Punjab). He regularly (I'll say daily) appear on mainstream Pakistani news channels, as a party representative, and it's highly unlikely he'll not have enough to pass GNG threshold. As he daily appear on mainstream news channels, it's really hard to find articles with SIGCOV, from tons of trivial mentioning articles.

 * Keep As he is public office holder and current spokesperson of punjab government. He is teh grandson of former president of Pakistan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by M.Ashraf333 (talk • contribs) 04:58, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree. These seven sources don’t establish notability in my view. They are mostly run of the mill coverage typical of any official spokesperson, but generally such people are not notable. Mccapra (talk) 20:47, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep per past precedent; government spokespersons of higher agencies are considered notable, even if sourcing is poor. Bearian (talk) 21:37, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:NPOL. He is not a prominent politician as argued above, as he doesn't hold elected office. There is no SNG for spokespersons, so GNG is our default policy. None of the sources address Attaullah Tarar "directly and in detail" as required by our notability policy. With the lack of significant independent coverage in multiple sources, I am not seeing a policy based argument for keeping this article.4meter4 (talk) 01:57, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
