Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arfanul Haque Rifat

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. Per WP:NPOL, "major local political figures who have received significant press coverage" are assumed to be notable. The article cites what could well be such coverage, and this AfD completely fails to discuss it. For lack of a well-informed discussion, I can determine no consensus here.

Delete Mayor of Comilla isn’t a notable position, and adding some dodgy claims about drugs doesn’t really strengthen the case. Mccapra (talk) 21:25, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Since the mayors have been elected from a larger area than the honourable Member of Parliament, I think it would be appropriate to keep the article Moreover, Mayors of city corporations are equivalent to state minister. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hrksmp (talk • contribs)

Comment- Comilla is the fifth largest city in Bangladesh, with a population of more than half a million. It is not just some small town. That being said the article is in pretty bad shape.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 02:46, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Per List of cities and towns in Bangladesh, it's the 9th, but your point is fair enough. Curbon7 (talk) 03:25, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
