 * Does seem a not unimportant post. What notability policy governs government appointees? Hyperbolick (talk) 17:01, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * NPOL is vague on whether or not elected/appointed status matters, so WP:POLOUTCOMES addresses something for "sub-cabinet officials". ミラP 21:08, 10 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete. Civil servants at the "deputy minister" level can certainly qualify for Wikipedia articles if they're properly referenced to sufficient reliable source coverage about them in media to clear WP:GNG, but are not handed any automatic notability freebies just because it's technically verifiable that they exist. But this is written like a résumé, not like an encyclopedia article, and the references aren't getting him over GNG — out of six footnotes, four primary sources that aren't support for notability at all, like a press release from his own employer and a newspaper piece where he's the bylined author of the content and not its subject and two YouTube videos. And the only two sources that are to real media just glancingly mention his name in the process of not being substantively about him, which means they aren't getting him over the bar by themselves either if they're the only reliable sources in play.

 * Delete. Not notable. Lefcentreright  Talk  (plz ping) 18:21, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Is notable. See my explanations why. ミラP 21:08, 10 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep (in spite of the article quality) as an outright WP:NPOL pass, and WP:POLOUTCOMES states that Sub-cabinet officials [...] are usually considered notable, especially if they have had otherwise notable careers. Besides, we just voted to keep a similar article from this country last month, and notability tends to be different between Wikipedias. ミラP 12:52, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Sub-cabinet officials are accepted as notable if they can be shown to be the subject of enough reliable source coverage to pass WP:GNG. They are not handed an automatic notability freebie, or an exemption from having to have any notability-supporting reliable sources, just because they exist.

 * Yeah they are, as shown in that AFD. Besides, WP:N says that [a] topic is presumed to merit an article if: It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right; and [i]t is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy. WP:NPOL is a "subject-specific guideline" and covers [p]oliticians and judges who have held international, national [...] office and is vague on who to apply it to, so we have WP:POLOUTCOMES to determine that, and we have something addressing "sub-cabinet officials". ミラP 21:06, 10 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete This position needs adequate sourcing to show notability and we do not have adequate sourcing.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:31, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
