I can see no assertion of notability nor can I locate any coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject of this BLP. J04n(talk page) 16:24, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete I'm struggling to find any sources that aren't clearly mirrors of this article, and the article itself doesn't claim that he has held any sort of elected office, so he doesn't pass WP:POLITICIAN. At most I'd suggest a mention in the article about his father, who is much more prominent.  Hut 8.5  21:50, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article claims that he's a prominent political figure, but fails to contain or source any content about what would make him a prominent political figure — such as holding a specific political office that would clear the WP:NPOL bar, or being a political organizer or activist who's covered by the media widely enough to satisfy WP:GNG. As always, a Wikipedia article is not kept just because the subject is claimed to have unsubstantiated prominence or notability — an article lives or dies on the volume and quality of reliable sourcing that can be provided to support their prominence or notability. But all the way back to its original creation, this has never had more sourcing or substance to it than it does now. Bearcat (talk) 16:59, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I suspect that the subject's name is not actually "Sardar Sher Ali Khan Mazari" but is in fact some subset of that. If people creating articles want others to be able to find reliable sources then a good starting point would be not to surround the subject's name with honorifics that get in the way of searching. This problem seems to be especially apparent in articles about South Asian subjects. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:52, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as nothing at all for any applicable notability. SwisterTwister   talk  04:30, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
