This article does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for politicians and living persons WP:GNG and WP:Politician.A significant part of the text in this article lacks reliable sources. The sources provided only mention this person in passing, without significant coverage that would establish their notability in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines.

Keep I believe this page merits retention. Several notable news sources have published articles in which Nazary figures prominently, such as this one by the New York Sun. Dan Wang (talk) 22:31, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Highly WP:BLP concerns especially with the sourcing, which doesn't clarify or meet WP:SIGCOV in independent sources. In general view of this discussion, the article doesn't meet WP:NPOL. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 01:34, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- What elements of the article are inadequate in their sourcing? Let's work to improve them before we move to scrap the page outright. Dan Wang (talk) 03:19, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Why are you so focused on preserving this article? Do you have any benefit? Parwiz ahmadi (talk) 18:20, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  
  @Dan Wang What is your connection with this person and the political organization in which this person is active? (National resistance front) Your focus is only on the National Resistance Front and its individuals. Almost all your edits are related to this organization and its affiliated individuals. This is a clear violation of Wikipedia's policies. I would like to draw the attention of the respected admins to this issue. Parwiz ahmadi (talk) 19:42, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Which policies am I violating (the ones your Talk page is littered with reprimands about)? In the last week alone I've edited a half-dozen different pages, ranging from musicians to American political events. A lot of my edits are indeed on Afghan topics, because I think it's an interesting subject area that merits documentation, and one I've been trying to improve the sourcing for. In the interest of full disclosure, I was the original creator of this article (I've created several over my 15 years as a Wikipedia editor), and I do want to see it preserved—not out of any inordinate attachment, but rather because I believe the de facto foreign minister of a major party to the 50-year-long Afghan conflict meets the notability standards for a Wikipedia page. Dan Wang (talk) 01:14, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I think if that is why you are creating an article about this man, the topics that should be discussed is his involvement in the conflict, not his early life and schools he graduated from 77.103.192.51 (talk) 20:30, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Good point, I wanted a good base of non-contentious material for the article (since pages touching the Afghan conflict have seen edit wars), but you may be right the ratio of past to recent experience might be a bit off. Dan Wang (talk) 00:07, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: If there should be WP:ATD, then redirect to the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, since he is the foreign minister (still a non notable office). Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 19:39, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The figure has been a prominent politician within the opposition for the past few years. His publications in renowned media outlets such as Foreign Affairs Magazine, such as [1] and his many interviews with CNN, Fox News, and France 24 are evident of his major role on the political scene. He has attended many international conferences on behalf of his organization and has had bilateral meetings with many countries. The article must be improved to reflect his current role and achievements, yet deletion is not the right option.

Can I highlight the peculiarity of an account that’s only one day old joining to chime into this discussion without previously having made any contributions on Wikipedia? Dan Wang (talk) 02:00, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
