The result was nomination withdrawn. There was a speedy tag attached to the AfD, but since there has been input from others I cannot speedy this. I'm going to take the speedy tag as a sign that the nomination was withdrawn, though. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 07:01, 19 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Does not meet notability guidelines for people (this being a politician, I assume). Notability guideline for politicians state that articles are notable if they are a politician or judge who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature. Doesn't look like Mr. Dang has received notable media coverage either. The StormCatcher (talk) (contribs) 06:26, 18 December 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Speedy Keep. Since he's the president of an international legislature he obviously meets WP:POLITICIAN. Why would you think he doesn't given you've just cited its provisions? He's also a member of the Cameroon Parliament [1], incidentally, so he qualifies twice. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 12:51, 18 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Speedy Keep and Close The subject is a prominent African statesman and is clearly deserving of a better article. The call for deletion is bizarre and I would recommend an immediate closure of this debate. And Adoil Descended ( talk) 13:17, 18 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Per other comments. Dat GuyWiki ( talk) 13:42, 18 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Speedy Keep Yes it needs to be expanded, but his election in May 2015 definitely give him the notability to have an article. RickinBaltimore ( talk) 15:23, 18 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Speedy Keep. While the article needs work, the subject meets WP:POLITICIAN, WP:GNG. Jacona ( talk) 17:20, 18 December 2015 (UTC) reply
