- Delete and salt: again, lack of notability. — Javert2113 (Siarad.|¤) 23:04, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keep He passes NPOL as a member of the Malaysian national legislature. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 15:32, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- I think he was more of a bureaucrat than a politician, as it was one unelected post he was appointed to. The rest is all party membership fluff, but nothing indicating elected positions. Not even a candidate. I may be reading NPOL inaccurately when it comes to Malaysian politics, tho. I also suspect the company may be more notable than he is. It should also be noted that there has been a lot of effort put into keeping this article alive, mainly by SPAs. This is the second time around for it. I think salting is a good idea.

- I don't see why being appointed would make a difference as to his eligibility under NPOL. NPOL also includes judges, for example, who are usually not elected. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 21:33, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

- Keep: The article does seem very promotional, but he was a member of the Malaysian Senate according to this , so the article should be kept per WP:NPOL and WP:POLOUTCOMES. Bait30 Talk 2 me pls? 03:57, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep as per WP:NPOL - a member of the national senate. The article does need an improvement in tone, which is not, in itself, reason for deletion. Rkieferbaum (talk) 18:20, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
