Merican Sutan

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Another public servant who, while accomplished, does not have enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to pass WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 14:36, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

 * I feel enough sources, can stop against my articles, I am very tired for receiving about Articles for deletion, can remove Articles for deletion for this article? Normal rookie (talk) 14:42, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
 * It is tiring sometimes, but we need to review all article for notability guidelines to ensure wikipedia is kept reliable. There is nothing personal about the nomination, we have to treat every review the same, to keep it fair for everyone. Oaktree b (talk) 01:17, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Why is Merican Sutan important or why is Merican Sutan famous? If there is an answer to this question then there is no reason to delete. Gazozlu (talk) 14:55, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete No sources found for the police officer. Famous doesn't mean notable unfortunately. Oaktree b (talk) 01:14, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
 * A sources about his death, you go see it and old news about him. Normal rookie (talk) 13:57, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Coverage would appear to satisfy WP:GNG and his honours satisfy WP:ANYBIO #1. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:42, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete. Coverage and honors are routine. -Apocheir (talk) 00:22, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Coverage is largely WP:ROUTINE. MrsSnoozyTurtle 08:28, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Somewhat hesitant keep, against the grain. We're talking about a pre-internet figure outside the anglosphere; coverage is going to be hard to come by, and yet we have a brief obituary in a sizeable newspaper, evidence he was the founder of an important police unit, and the head of the police academy in the country's capital. We're never going to have a lengthy bio here, but a permastub is reasonable, I believe. Vanamonde (Talk) 18:13, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
