The result was delete. I draftified this article in the first AFD closure so that the article could be improved and submitted to AFD for review but instead it was moved back to main space. This AFD discussion will be closed as Delete. Liz Read! Talk! 21:01, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

- Delete, without draftification this time. He has not held any role that would constitute an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL, but has not been shown to pass WP:GNG on the sourcing either. Bearcat ( talk) 13:33, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

- "Most of X peoples knows him" is not a Wikipedia notability criterion, because anybody could say that about anything if they didn't actually have to prove it. Notability is not a question of the things you say, it's a question of the quality and depth of the sourcing that can or can't be shown to support the things you say, and the sourcing in this article isn't cutting it as it isn't about him at all.

- Notability is demonstrated by significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The only source provided that even comes close to aiding in establishing notability is this one. All the others are brief mentions, or just quoting what he is saying about something else, or doesn't even mention him. -- Whpq ( talk) 11:58, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
