Civil servant who doesn't meet WP:NPOL or WP:GNG. Relatives are slightly more notable but notability is not inherited. Liz Read! Talk! 01:38, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Hey Liz Liz Talk!, I have created this article and to bring this to your notice the article is of a senior Indian Forest Officer from J&K & as of reliable reference I have added to government Website mentioning Showkat Ali Chowdhary & his designation & other details of his postings & I have also added media references from some of the top media houses in mentioning him so I would request you to kindly consider the publication of the my article, because government website are most reliable sources that are considered every where.

 * Hello, Basimji zulfkar,

 * Strong Delete Most reliable sourcing and significant coverage appears to be about the subject's boss. This is also a clear attempt from a COI editor to avoid scrutiny and get around AfC. Best, GPL93 (talk) 03:37, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: per nom. Routine news coverage of postings, transfers and administrative actions do not contribute to notability. -- Ab207 (talk) 08:17, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

• so what does this change the fact that he is a senior IFS officer & government website cited as reference are not credible for verifying the identity? Think about it Basimji zulfkar 17 February 2022 — Preceding undated comment added 10:36, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Senior civil servants are not default notable, so simply being proven to actually exist and have his job doesn't mean that the subject merits an article. GPL93 (talk) 15:40, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
