Doesn't pass Wikipedia:POLITICIAN criteria. bio created and expanded by the subject himself. one sources is cited which is not reliable enough to be used on Wikipedia. the subject holding a position within a political party's staff which is not an automatic WP:NPOL pass.

 * Keep Holding a legislative position only is not the automatic ticket to notability, in fact many politicians meet WP:GNG due to their activism or political work without ever being elected. I see the subject being mentioned in multiple sources.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 13:24, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I have cited few sources but most of the references quote him (name checking) instead of discussing his life or work. --Saqib (talk) 14:16, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Nothing here confers an automatic WP:NPOL pass just because he exists, and neither the volume nor the depth of sourcing being cited here are enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu — as noted, three of the four sources just namecheck his existence in coverage of other things while failing to be substantively about him, and the one source that is actually about him is just a blurb which isn't substantive enough to carry a GNG pass all by itself. I'm willing to reconsider this if further sourcing can be added to strengthen his claim to clearing GNG, but what's here right now just isn't enough. Bearcat (talk) 16:04, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. He appears to not meet Wikipedia's WP:NPOL standard. The Wikipedia article on Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman states: "Hafiz Naeem Ur Rehman (Urdu: حافظ نعیم الرحمن‎) is a Pakistani politician who is currently the chief of Jamaat-e-Islami in Karachi". Wikipedia's Jamaat-e-Islami article indicates: "Jamaat-e-Islami (Urdu: جماعتِ اسلامی) is an Islamic political organisation and social conservative movement founded in 1941 in British India by the Islamist theologian and socio-political philosopher, Abul Ala Maududi." So he currently holds no government position. And he previously was a politician at the district level - not the national/statewide/provincewide level. Knox490 (talk) 03:06, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
