Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable politician. Being the son of a notable person does not make one notable. The subject has not (yet) been elected to parliament, rather is only a candidate in a future election (along with several thousand other candidates). While the subject has worked as the lawyer of another leader, that alone or the trivial mention of that job alone does not make him notable either. There are about 400 references to the subject, mostly trivial mentions in news related to Sheikh Hasina's court cases, from personal websites/law offices, or from a list of candidates in the upcoming election (where thousands of other candidates are also listed/mentioned). --Ragib (talk) 07:56, 25 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Added: The relevant policy here is Notability_(people), which clearly states: Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability --Ragib (talk) 09:10, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
