This article was tagged as autobiographical over 12 years ago and has been the subject of no revisions other than clerical or bot edits. The original author made no other edits except for creating the article. It is exceedingly unlikely this article will ever be improved, especially as it receives one average daily page view (possibly from being the oldest article listed at WP's list of autobiographies).

Asserts notability as member of Slovenia's (nation of 2 million) 130-seat legislature for 4 years in the 1990s; for reference, the current (as of 2020) leader of one house of the nation's bicameral legislature doesn't even have an article. Subject has articles on German and Slovene WPs but even those somewhat read like a CV. Search engine results mostly point to primary sources such as subject's own social media profiles and Wikipedia mirrors; Google News results contain trivial mentions or unrelated persons with same given name or surname.

 * Keep Meets WP:NPOL and a quick search of Slovenian sources brought up clearly notable sources (though some are potentially controversial and probably shouldn't be used in the article.) . He was also the ambassador to Poland, and for some insane reason we tend to keep ambassadors.  SportingFlyer  T · C  01:34, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Notwithstanding the rest, WP:POLOUTCOMES says ambassadors are not inherently notable. Is there policy or consensus that's more current or takes precedence? Damon Killian (talk) 03:03, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
 * No, not technically for ambassadors - just noting on a couple trends I've seen at AfD. SportingFlyer  T · C  04:09, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to be a reasonably well-known figure. Doremo (talk) 04:04, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets WP:NPOL as a member of a national parliament, EN WP lacking articles on other notable national parliamentarians is no reason to delete, as for being an autobio, athough strongly discouraged, is not necessarily a reason for deletion. Coolabahapple (talk) 07:32, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. Passes WP:POLITICIAN - Šetinc was a member of Parliament. Lefcentreright  Talk  (plz ping) 10:20, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Subject has clearly held an WP:NPOL passing office in a national legislature. If there are other Slovenian MPs who don't have articles yet, that's not a reason to delete the ones who do — it's a reason to dust off your Slovenian Duolingo tapes and get the missing ones done. And if there are any other problems with the article's referencing or writing tone, then fix it. Bearcat (talk) 19:45, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Points taken - I respect the clear consensus for retention and wish to withdraw my deletion nomination. Damon Killian (talk) 18:37, 9 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep. I didn't find why nomination on this article ? a member of the Parliament of Slovenia automatically pass WP:NPOL. 1 meets WP:POLITICIAN clearly. - Nocturnal306  talk  19:50, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per the ideas of TNT. The subject may be notable but we should never have autobiographies. If we are going to give any teeth to this policy we need to actively rid outselfs of such. Articles on notable people that inherently violate our policies be they attack articles or autobiographies should be removed.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:46, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep meets WP:NPOL as a member of a national parliament. AfD is not cleanup. --Enos733 (talk) 05:30, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Love that "AfD is not clean up." Also notable due to politician guidelines. Missvain (talk) 06:13, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
