Promotional article. If anyone is keen to overhaul it, draftifying could be an appropriate alternative to deletion. MrsSnoozyTurtle 01:56, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep A government ministry is inherently notable. I don’t really see how the article is promotional, or anything about it that would warrant draftification. Mccapra (talk) 04:28, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello . Which policy states that ministries are inherently notable please? I couldn't find anything in WP:NORG. MrsSnoozyTurtle 22:20, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I doubt you’ll find many (any?) examples of government ministries being deleted at AfD, so perhaps it’s more of a consensus/common outcome rather than a firm policy. Mccapra (talk) 22:24, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the explanation. However, it doesn't seem to be covered in WP:OUTCOMES? MrsSnoozyTurtle 04:01, 11 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep It's a government ministry. There are many articles about ministries like this: Ministry of Sports.--Efimar61 (talk) 15:25, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. Government ministries are indeed inherently notable. See WP:NGO. It would be utterly ridiculous if the head of the ministry was notable per WP:POLITICIAN but the ministry itself was not. This is pure common sense. The deletion rationale is invalid in any case. The quality of the article is irrelevant. AfD is about notability of the topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:16, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep: There is no listing on outcomes, but it is a bit of common sense that a cabinet-level ministry is notable. Curbon7 (talk) 17:44, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep agree with nominator that article reeks of promo and not quite sure I would concur with the idea of each and every cabinet-level ministry being inherently notable (hello Ministry of Finance (Nevis Island)?). Nevertheless, as above, current content is not relevant here and given the 2022 World Cup, there's more than enough grounds for the notability of this ministry.
