This subject is not the subject of in-depth coverage by multiple, reliable, third-party sources. His position of deputy prison administrator does not help to establish notability under existing guidelines. Speedy deletion was contested. Redirecting was also attempted, but reverted. Since the content and subject are not encyclopedic, and the subject is not mentioned elsewhere, the article should be deleted. JFHJr (㊟) 06:59, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: the position is high-profile, responsible for many prisons and the individual has reeived widespread, diverse, media coverage. Babakathy (talk) 07:17, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment – coverage of this person speaking in his official capacity probably indicates notability for the position (Deputy Inspector General of Prisons), not the subject. This subject, outside his role, is not the subject of non-trivial coverage. JFHJr (㊟) 07:23, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment OK, if we try WP:POLITICIAN as nearest(?) guide, post is provincial (i.e. state level) so holder might eb notable but am less sure. Babakathy (talk) 09:13, 16 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete The post of Deputy Inspector General of Prisons is not provincial or state-level. Its a regional or divisional level appointment and there are many regions or divisions within a province in Pakstani context. The subject is not encyclopedic or notable and seems to be merely a directory entry. Wikipedia should not be used for keeping separate articles on each of millions of state functionaries throughout the world unless they independently turn notable.--FourDaysLife (talk) 06:22, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
