I mistakenly PRODed this not realising it was ineligible. This man was an unsuccessful candidate in a parliamentary election. I’ve looked in English and found only a couple of passing mentions in directories. In Pashto I found nothing at all. Therefore it’s clear the man is not notable.

 * Delete. Being an unsuccessful candidate for political office is not an inclusion-clinching notability claim, but this doesn't even really try to make a claim that he had preexisting notability for other reasons that would have gotten him into Wikipedia independently of the candidacy — the only reference being cited here at all is a glancing namecheck of his existence as a giver of soundbite in an article about somebody else, not coverage about him for the purposes of establishing his notability. I'd also note that the original prod was removed on the grounds that the prod rationale was expressed in a nonsensical and invalid way, not because there was any actual debate about his lack of notability — but since we're here, we're here. Also, both of the images in the article are screenshotted from a website but falsely claimed as Creative Commons-licensed original work created by the uploader, and accordingly have also had to be nominated for deletion at FFD.
