The result was speedy keep. Meets
WP:POLITICIAN. Somewhat meets
WP:SKCRIT #3 as has reliable sources indicating that she meets
WP:POLITICIAN (one being a listing on an
official Pakistani government website, stating that they are a member of the assembly). Please do
WP:BEFORE before nominating pages for deletion. Please also note that sources do not have to be online, offline sources (ie books, newspapers etc) are perfectly acceptable.
Speedy keep, as a Provincial Assembly Member since 2013, she meets
WP:POLITICIAN, despite the thin press coverage.

Procedural Keep Unfortunately, it's a retaliatory nomination after being bitten by
1 and
2. I am not blaming the nom, maybe they got distressed after their stubs were AfDed and they AfDed it on similar rationale. samee talk 16:32, 7 March 2018 (UTC)reply
Unfortunately, the nominator took my AfDs personally. I never meant to offend anyone. --

Keep So let's 'keep' all deserving articles created by both of you. I'll try to chip in my share and expand with new references, wherever I can.

Keep -- This is a clear-cut case. This person meets
WP:NPOL by being a member of the
Provincial Assembly of the Punjab, which is a provincial legislature. Should never have been nominated for deletion.

Keep. Serving in a provincial or state legislature is a clean pass of
WP:NPOL #1. Certainly the article needs improvement, but as long as we can properly
verify that a person actually held the role they're claimed to have held (as opposed to being an outright
WP:HOAX), people at this level of inherent notability are kept and just flagged for refimprove. Also I'm willing to bet that the nominator just searched for English sources, which would obviously be sparse, and didn't invest the same amount of energy into searching for the Urdu sources that would be much more likely available — and, for that matter, we don't require all of our sources to be online ones either: if there are newspapers in the Punjab that cover provincial politics but don't have websites, they're still perfectly valid sources.

Keep As a member of a provincial / state legislature, with the requisite reliable and verifiable sources to back it up, notability is met. If this is indeed a retaliatory nomination, Samee, you have my sympathies; I've been dealing with the same problem myself.
