S.D.Shad

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

It's unclear from the very badly written article whether this man ever held any office sufficiently high to meet WP:POLITICIAN, or whether he meets WP:BIO more generally. Moreover, this is a WP:BLP with no reliable sources; the cited document http://www.app.com.pk/en/pdf/punjab.pdf is merely a list of candidates of unclear provenance and I can't even find S.D.Shad on it. A previous WP:PROD nomination was removed with the comment "deleted grotesque portion".  Sandstein  11:32, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete He was one of 15 candidates in an election for a parliamentary seat for Bahawalnagar in Pakistan, and got 393 out of the 58,041 votes cast, finishing in ninth place. Even the 2nd place finishers aren't entitled to their own article, though anyone, including Mr. Shad, can attempt to prove notability in other ways.  Mandsford (talk) 15:32, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment does anyone know his full name? I've just gone through the references and I can't see it anywhere. No one can assert notability until we know who this person is. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 15:50, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The results for the race he was in were at the very bottom of the link. After getting through the candidates named Arshad and Irshad, I finally got to S.D. Shad.  It's possible that this is a relative of the article's author, User:Abshad. Mandsford (talk) 17:21, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh I know that, I was hoping that someone had his full name. I'm sure there are hundreds of S.D. Shad's in the world! PanydThe muffin is not subtle 18:01, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
