Tagged for notability for 5 years; I couldn't establish notability. Boleyn (talk) 20:32, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. The position of Commissioner in this context is enough to presume notability. StAnselm (talk) 22:31, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Indeed: see Commissioners of Sind and Commissioner; Sindh is one of 4 provinces of what is now Pakistan and hence a significant geographical entity. --Colapeninsula (talk) 00:04, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment Please also see Articles for deletion/William Henry Havelock who was Acting Commissioner of Sind for a while. Mcewan (talk) 01:57, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Easily a senior enough position for notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:58, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep: commissioner was the administrative head in British India for regions such as Sindh, till a position of a Governor was made in 1936. See also, William Henry Havelock.--GDibyendu (talk) 12:04, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - his position is notable enough to have notability. Torreslfchero (talk) 13:28, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep -- I would suggest that those governing Inidan provinces, even on an acting basis are notable. The problem with this article is that it is a mere stub, and tells us nothing of what he did as Commissioner. Most Commissioners of Sind have articles.

 * Keep Concur with above opinions on inherent notability. Mcewan (talk) 15:48, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
