Semi-advertorialized article about a political figure, not properly sourced as passing WP:NPOL. The attempted notability claim here is that he's been secretary of a political party's local chapter in an individual district, with no indication that he's ever held any office that would count as "inherently" notable per NPOL -- but this does not cite any WP:GNG-worthy coverage about him to establish notability for other reasons, and instead is cited entirely to a mixture of primary sources that are not support for notability, and tangential verification of facts in sources that fail to mention his name at all in conjunction with them. (The only one, further, that does mention his name does so only in the context of being the credited photographer of the article's illustration — which is not support for notability either — rather than the subject of the coverage.)
It also warrants note that the creator is repeatedly trying to file the article in redlinked categories that don't even exist, as well as inappropriate categories that it wouldn't belong in (e.g. filing him in Category:Bridges, despite the fact that that Zid Aliasgar is not personally a literal bridge.) And while that isn't a deletion rationale per se, it does suggest that there's a WP:CIR issue here.
Nothing stated in this article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be the subject of coverage in reliable sources independent of himself. Bearcat (talk) 17:39, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
