Niaz Mohammad

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unsourced WP:BLP, tagged as such for more than 2 years. Calling someone a "taliban leader" is not really unproblematic without any sources, so a borderline G10 speedy candidate. Looking for sources, I could find him mentioned once in one book, and nothing useful in Google News archives. Fails WP:BIO. Fram (talk) 15:08, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete No sources. I'd expect to find a bit more about him if he was governor of Kabul, but can only find that list in the book source Fram gave above, which seems to derive from this list which appears in various places. I thought his name might be spelled wrong, and a Niaz MohammEd yields an Afghan politician "better known by his alias Haji Amir Lalai" but I don't think that's him. --Pontificalibus (talk) 21:52, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete Although technically the sources given above are sufficient to qualify under WP:POLITICIAN, this being Afghanistan, it seems terribly unlikely that there will be significant coverage in reliable sources at any point, assuming the subject hasn't already found an early grave.

 * I'm not convinced the sources we have are reliable at all. I spent a while googling various Afghan names in relation to governorships of provinces and found lots of confused US-intelligence-derived reports with varying spellings and aliases, and lots of apparently different people with similar names or aliases.--Pontificalibus (talk) 17:19, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
