Despite several prods being removed, I can't even find a single source to support that this person existed. The two included make no mention of this person under any name and do not support anything that they cite. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 00:30, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The claimed political role is not an "inherently" notable one for the purposes of extending a presumption of notability under WP:NPOL, but there's no evidence of enough reliable source coverage to get him over WP:GNG. As for the arguments above about whether this is speedy deletable or not, note that "a claim of notability which is very clearly not verified by the article's listed sources" is a valid reason to question whether the notability claim is credible or not — given that there's disagreement about the speediability, AFD is more appropriate than speedy in this instance, but simply asserting that people who consider it speediable are wrong is just wasting everybody's time and energy to no purpose, because there's a valid difference of opinion for valid reasons as to whether the notability claim is credible or not. So let's put a lid on that digression and just stick to discussing the article on its own clear lack of merit. Bearcat (talk) 17:05, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
