Being an Indian Administrative Service officer is just a government job and doesn't automatically confer notability as per WP:SNG. Also, the individual clearly does not meet the criteria outlined in WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Charlie ( talk) 18:13, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. I would imagine the more significant role would be his position as member of his nation’s cabinet rather than merely an IAS officer. I know US cabinet members pass WP:NPOL, and I can’t see a reason why cabinet members from other nations shouldn’t either. 4meter4 ( talk) 19:29, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

- Weak keep. I'm not sure this meets the letter of NPOL: this individual is a bureaucrat, not a politician in the conventional sense of a holder of elected office. However, his position appears to be that of the highest-ranking bureaucrat in a state government, if I understand the minutiae correctly, and as such he is holding a statewide office: so I think he meets the spirit of NPOL. The coverage is very sparse, so this is a "weak" keep only. Vanamonde ( Talk) 03:36, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: An analysis of available reference material may be more helpful than a debate over the specifics of the job.
