Don't believe that he is notable. Is head of mission as notable as an ambassador? Gbawden (talk) 09:29, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. He is definately notable. His position is as commander of the UN force in Abeyi, effectively governing the area. His past positions as Minister of State and commander of Ethiopian Air Force are definately notable, see http://www.un.org/press/en/2015/sga1542.doc.htm .

 * Clear Keep as a general officer per WP:SOLDIER and as a minister per WP:POLITICIAN. I appreciate these details weren't in the article when it was nominated. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:10, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep; the defence minister easily passes WP:POLITICIAN. I strongly doubt that Gbawden would have nominated this for deletion had it been in its current condition when it was nominated.  Thanks to Soman for improving the article significantly, as it definitely didn't demonstrate notability when it was nominated.  Nyttend (talk) 14:36, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, as a general officer and as a nation-states minister/secretary of defense/war the subject is notable per WP:SOLDIER & WP:POLITICIAN.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 05:34, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
