Fazalur Rehman (bureaucrat)

The subject does not meet WP:GNG. In Pakistan, before every election, a caretaker government is established for two months which oversees the elections. These subjects only have trivial mention in the news at the time of nomination, beyond that point, they do not get mention in the news, when the elections are over, they go into oblivion and will never do anything significant in life to achieve notability.

 * Keep passes WP:POLITICIAN is the Chief Minister of Sindh and is the head of government of a sub-national entity, for instance a administrative subdivision or federal constituent entity that is of Sindh state.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 21:51, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The issue is that these caretaker officials are not elected and they are not politicians. They never get coverage beyond a passing and trivial mention in a news story. You are never going to find any scholarly coverage on most of these individuals anytime in future. I just listed the nomination in politician listing as there was no alternative available under people category otherwise he is not even a politician.

 * Keep Many caretakers before were appointed to other positions after their service and the nominator is assuming the near future, being a head of provincial government is an important position and can result in important decisions. Jibran1998 (talk) 00:13, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The folks who are already notable before being assigned in a caretaker setup are a different story. The folks who are getting an article for just being nominated for two months caretaker setup are a problem. Just being in caretaker administration does not make them notable.

 * Keep chief minister. --Panam2014 (talk) 03:10, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Whether a caretaker chief minister merit a stand-alone entry or not is another debate which should better be discussed at WP:N. But in this case, the subject clearly passes WP:N because he served as federal secretary for ports and shipping, Sindh chief secretary (senior-most position held in the civil services of the provinces of Pakistan), and an adviser to former chief minister Qaim Ali Shah as per this news peiece. A detailed profile can be accessed here. I believe he marginal pass GNG. --Saqib (talk) 08:03, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - He is the head of the provincial government of Sindh, has been the senior most bureaucrat of the province from 2007 to 2010, therefore he fulfills the notability criteria. A hmer J amil K han 10:23, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm just curious why would someone nom a BLP on a Chief Minister for deletion just because he's caretaker, and at the same time create himself a BLP on another caretaker Chief Minister Alauddin Marri who is less known than the former. I would like to know your thoughts. --Saqib (talk) 15:51, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
 * That AFD was created days ago and has been a learning process for me, I did not know that each and every head of a province or state can have a page as per WP:POLITICIAN. Also, you can see which way the AFD is heading anyway so if policy allows then why should not I partake in content creation. Sheriff &#124; ☎ 911 &#124; 15:58, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Willing to withdraw this nom now? --Saqib (talk) 16:03, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I wanted to, a week ago but honestly I did not understand the process, they made it too complicated so I thought there are multiple keep votes, it’s going to be kept anyway so why bother. :) Sheriff</b> &#124; <b style="color: black;">☎ 911</b> &#124; 16:07, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
