WP:NPOL #2. The notability claim here is that he's chief executive of a district, which is not an "inherently" notable role that guarantees a Wikipedia article -- politicians at the local level are notable only if you can write a genuinely substantive and well-sourced article that contextualizes their political significance, such as by addressing specific things they did in the job, specific effects they had on the development of the district, etc., and are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because you can minimally source the fact that they exist.
This one is marginally different than the others I've nominated so far, in that he's been categorized as having previously been a member of the Parliament of Ghana -- but the article as written fails to say or source that he was ever an MP, and I haven't been able to verify that he was ever an MP via a Google search either. So I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody can actually find better verification that he was ever actually an MP than I've been able to -- but we have seen articles created which falsely asserted that the subject had served in an NPOL-passing role when they actually hadn't, so just categorizing him as an MP doesn't automatically get him to NPOL #1 all by itself without adequate verification that the category is actually correct.

- Delete does not meet our inclusion criteria for politicians and clearly fails GNG. I am wondering if it would have made sense to group all these Ghanaian distirct level leader nominations together, but I do understand why you chose to do a broad variety of seperate nominations. group nominations often get opposed on principal even if there is nothing of substance backing any of the individual articles.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:03, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
