Does not meet WP:GNG, being a member of the Advisory Board of State Administration Council is not automatic grounds for inclusion.  Onel 5969  TT me 22:14, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, Two out of three references present are WP:SIGCOV, establishing notability per GNG. NemesisAT (talk) 22:18, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Automatically notable as a former state-level government minister. "He previously served as the Minister of Security and Border Affairs of Rakhine State until 2017." Eastmain (talk • contribs) 22:21, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Weak keep: This would have to pass through WP:GNG. It has a chance if more sources can be found, as his position as Minister of Security and Border Affairs of Rakhine State during the Rohingya Genocide is certainly a special instance and some English-language sources show he played at least some role in the genocide. However, while several English language sources exist, most are just passing mentions or one sentence interviews. Burmese-language sources very likely exist, however, I'm unable to find them because Google seems to struggle searching that language. Curbon7 (talk) 22:34, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, Two out of three references present are WP:SIGCOV, establishing notability per GNG. Clear notability established. --Whiteguru (talk) 22:54, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep What the hell Afd? He was a minister of state, presidential adviser to the President Win Myint and a member of the Advisory Board of State. Advisory Board is the union level goverment position equivalent to the Advisor of the President's Office of Myanmar . Advisory Board members are Presidential advisors!!! Very very clearly passes WP:NPOL as  Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels. This also applies to people who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them. He has held three state level gov posts. How much do you need? I'll report you at ANI for unresearched AfDs by new page reviewer. Other Burmese editors and experienced editors will decide he is notable or not? How Fanny!

 * Because of the current situation in Myanmar, I'm one of the four only Burmese Editors on English Wikipedia. You are trying to delete Burmese political articles that these are clearly notable (one of them Yin Yin Oo who has held two major gov posts as deputy director general of the Foreign Ministry of Myanmar and Presidential advisor), when senior Burmese Editors retired. Sorry you can't I've full knowledge on my country's politic. Taung Tan (talk) 04:23, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 * , There was just simply some confusion regarding the notability of the post, but this AfD seems to have cleared that up. Please don't take these AfDs personally, they are just occasionally part of the process. Having known Onel for a couple of years at this point, I'm sure he had good intentions with this nom, so please don't take it out on him. Curbon7 (talk) 10:39, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, why didn't he use talk page first for further discussion? I only create articles that are clearly notable. Taking my articles (even they are ministers) to AfD is degrades my reputation on Wikipedia. Taung Tan (talk) 12:19, 2 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep As a state-level minister and union-level presidential advisor, he clearly meets NPOL. Zin Win Hlaing (talk) 05:13, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep clealy passes WP:NPOL as advisor to the State and Rakhine state minister of Security and Border Affairs. Advisory Board is high-ranking government position in Myanmar under the military regime. Marcus MT (talk) 02:51, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep agree per above. Nonsense AfD, government ministers are auto notable on Wikipedia as passes WP:NPOL. 117.18.228.169 (talk) 08:09, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly passes WP:POLITICIAN. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:32, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
