Never elected to the provincial or federal assembly. Fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Greenbörg (talk) 14:58, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Comment Certainly the article has problems. It does state that Zahoor Elahi was elected to the National Assembly in 1962. A book reference [1] describes him as a "seasoned parliamentarian". [2] mentions that he was declared a "prisoner of conscience" by Amnesty International. He was the victim of an assassination. I can't square this with what the nominator says about the guidelines.

• Comment i would prefer to comment here rather than make a keep vote because of some COI. I would say he was a influential person in and around Gujrat. he was elected to the national parliament first in 1962 election and again in 1972 election from Gujrat constituency. if Googled, there're plenty of RS on the subject. for now, this, and this can be used to establish that he's notable. -- Saqib ( talk) 16:26, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply
