Election candidates are almost always non-notable unless elected. There is no justification to create a separate article for this candidate. HistoriesUnveiler (talk) 16:01, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Not an expert in Pakistani politics, but I would suggest that we either keep this article or have one on the assassination itself (which this could be moved to). Alternatively, we could have an article for the 2024 election to the NA-8 Bajaur seat. We should have at least one of these, and this article is currently the only one that exists, so it should not be deleted until a viable merge target exists.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep/Rewrite article to be about his assassination: The assassination of a political candidate during an election campaign smells pretty darn notable to me, and the variety of sources on the topic probably agree with this. However, it's fair to conclude that he's rather non-notable besides 'getting assassinated', so it could be worth rewriting the article to focus on that rather notable topic instead (Assassination of Rehan Zaib Khan or something). 🔥HOTm̵̟͆e̷̜̓s̵̼̊s̸̜̃🔥 (talk・edits) 00:12, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep assassination of politcal candidates anywhere in the world will be a notable event in and of itself. Discussion of appropriate name for the article can continue on the talk page. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 06:19, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep should likely be rescoped to focus on the assassination and nota full biography but this is a fine starting point and deletion is not required. Eluchil404 (talk) 01:31, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
