Sher Jehan Mir

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails GNG, WP:NPOL. "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability" He was, briefly, the CARETAKER governor of a province? Other than this scant - and insufficient - claim, no notability whatsoever. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 06:45, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - Curious to hear others views on this, In a Google news and general Google check I could see several sources such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. I'm still learning on Wikipedia so any more experienced editors viewpoints would be helpful. --Pulisi (talk) 07:02, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, Mir Afzal was made in 2013 and is even more bare in terms of both article length and refs so if Sher Jehan Mir gets deleted I'd give that a look. --Pulisi (talk) 07:04, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, per WP:POLITICIAN: Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels. He served as the chief minister of a Pakistani province; even if we go by the argument that he was a caretaker, it's important to note that the constitution provides for a caretaker officeholder.

 * Keep Chief Minister (whether caretaker or not) of a province in Pakistan is notable; passes WP:POLITICIAN.--Goldsztajn (talk) 11:25, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes WP:POLITICIAN and is a notable person. Ngrewal1 (talk) 00:17, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per Mar4d and Ngrewal1.VR talk 04:34, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. A person who had only been a "caretaker" provincial governor for one or two days might potentially fall below the bar, but a person who held that role for more than six months was clearly more than a historical footnote, because he very clearly held the role for a significant and meaningful amount of time. Yes, the article needs some improvement, so by all means tag it for refimprove, but the role clearly satisfies WP:NPOL. Bearcat (talk) 19:20, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
