This article is under improvement and soon it will be added valuable contents. So I suggest to not delete it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hawali Nur (talk • contribs) 13:04, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Minor quibble: Puntland is a constituent state of Somalia, it is not a breakaway entity like Somaliland. Curbon7 (talk) 02:13, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment adding two links to Facebook and another to the homepage of a university isn’t demonstrating notability. Where is the in depth independent coverage of this individual? Mccapra (talk) 06:56, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete solidly fails GNG. A Google search returns more results on the similarly named Saudi king than it does results for this subject, which are all Facebook and other social media posts anyway. RetroCosmos ^{t • c} 17:14, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have had another look and I am unable to change my mind. With respect, Facebook is a non-starter, and a press release is something that might build upon existing notability but certainly not enough to establish notability. Hawaii Nur, I appreciate your efforts on this article. RetroCosmos ^talk 09:40, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Final relist. Improvements were made to the article today that would be worth a look. It would help with coming to a closure.

Thanks Liz. The sources added are all government press releases listing all similar appointments. They verify that the subject holds the position mentioned in the article. They mention the subject but there is no in depth coverage of him specifically. At AfD routine announcements of an appointment are not regarded as evidence of notability.

Delete no presumed notability available under WP:NPOL as even ministerial directors-general/first secretaries are not recognised there (although to extend Curbon7's point, Puntland is a federal state, so it's ministers would be covered by NPOL). No independent sourcing to indicate satisfies WP:BIO/WP:GNG. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 01:35, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
