Article is about a person without significant coverage in independent reliable sources. The claim for notability appears to be his positions on university student councils. That is not sufficient to meet WP:POLITICIAN, and the lack of significant coverage means WP:GNG is not met either. Whpq ( talk) 14:02, 18 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete: As noted, no significant coverage from reliable sources that I could find, though there are some references in second tier type media outlets. Orthodox2014 ( talk) 16:09, 18 January 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete. Student unions are not a level of political office that satisfies WP:NPOL, and there's no claim here that he's ever held any level of office that would get him over that bar. Further, the sourcing here is almost entirely dependent on primary sources and non-notable blogs — I see one source that I'd be willing to accept as counting for something toward WP:GNG in principle (link #5, AllAfrica.com, is a reprint of an article from The Star (Kenya)), but even that source just provides a glancing namecheck of his existence rather than being about him. A person does not get an inclusion freebie on Wikipedia just because he exists; reliable source coverage about him must be present to support one, but this article doesn't have that.
