I'm not entirely convinced this man existed because my searches found nothing good with results either being mirrors or simply unusable and unreliable (blogs, forums and including one link that seemed interesting but instantly took me to another "software" website which caused concern, grrr). I would like to believe he existed but this article existing since May 2007 with hardly any edits and no signs of better improvement is interesting especially as, sure this is the Middle East, but a 2006 death would've had at least something go into the Internet.

 * Comment. Not a hoax. A 1997 Associated Press wire story, published in the Log Cabin Democrat (Conway, Ark.), lists the subject as "district commissioner for the Indian Ocean port of Kismayo." At the same time, though, holding a local political office doesn't necessarily meet WP:NPOL. Ideally, an expert on Somalia would be able to establish whether the subject has received enough notice on a national level to meet the notability threshold.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete The article is misleading. He was only deputy minister. confirms that he was vice minister of treasury in 2005, and, published in 2001, states that he was then deputy minister of fisheries and marine resources. In light of this fact, I don't think he is notable. Elspamo4 (talk) 20:55, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. If he was deputy minister or vice-minister then he's certainly notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:49, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom and Elspamo. Searches did not turn up enough to show they meet WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:56, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
 * WP:SYSTEMIC. Do you really expect there to be a lot on the internet about a minister in Somalia? Nobody of this rank in Western Europe or North America would ever be deleted. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:32, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
