Ziauddin Yousafzai

I have nothing against him having an article here but at the present state the article does not give ANYTHING about his notability. All I can find is that he is the educational attache', so do all educational attache's get articles? FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 05:02, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep: "United Nation's advisor on Global education" is Notable. -- Human 3015   TALK   06:41, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The UN has like thousands of "advisors" we cannot give them all articles just because they are "advisors", I don't think even all of "consultants" and "officers" have articles. FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 07:14, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete / merge to Malala Yousafzai. It's an interesting case of notability coming not from a parent to a child but in the other direction. The position does not seem notable, but his nomination generated a bit of a buzz, given that his daughter is a media darling. Still, it seems to fall under WP:ONEEVENT and such, and the best solution would be to merge the article to a family section of his daughter article. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:14, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep The UN might have thousands of advisers (not sure if that's the same as "special adviser"), but they do not all get this kind of coverage. I think he satisfies GNG on his own, being covered in depth in numerous RS. We do have room for anyone who meets GNG guidelines. As to notability deriving from his daughter, yes, that would be valid if he did nothing else, but he has an important position with the UN now, and because of that position he is getting lots of RS coverage.

 * Keep - he satisfies GNG as others have pointed out. —Мандичка YO 😜 20:22, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
