Fails WP:NBIO. A Google search does not give many results. GeoffreyT2000 ( talk,  contribs ) 22:23, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly satisfies WP:NPOL. Minister of Finance for about 4 years and Minister of Commerce for eight terms as well as general. Notability is not a concern: referencing is the problem but I suspect we'd get a better chance if we searched using the Thai alphabet. Pichpich (talk) 22:40, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * By the way, history shows that I created the article but that's not what actually happened. I categorized an existing article but saved my edit just after the article was deleted under criterion A10. Unfortunately, the deleting admin did not record the article that the present one duplicated. Pichpich (talk) 22:42, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually, the article exists on the Thai Wikipedia and there are references there. Of course, I don't speak Thai so I can't evaluate the quality of the sources but it should be looked at before deleting the en.wiki article. (As should the results of a Google search for "เภา เพียรเลิศ บริภัณฑ์ยุทธกิจ"). I've added a link to a page from the Ministry of Finance of Thailand that confirms he served two terms as minister.

 * This list from the Ministry of Commerce of Thailand is hard to read for non-Thai speakers but it certainly appears to confirm that he was the Minister of Commerce on multiple terms. Pichpich (talk) 16:36, 3 October 2016 (UTC)


 * I note that a source published by a university was removed from this article with the edit summary "not a reliable source". We seem to have two cases here of people deleting an article and removing a source with inadequate explanations of those actions. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 23:44, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Assuming the translation from the Thai source is correct, I cleaned it up a bit. Bearian (talk) 18:12, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly meets WP:NPOL: while sourcing is a little bit of an issue, a minister in a national government is so obviously notable that even keeping a one-sentence stub with the ministry source would be worthwhile. Vanamonde (talk) 04:43, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
