Weak Keep not entirely sure. Noah!^💬 19:16, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - unless I'm missing something, this passes WP:NPOL criterion 1. The same goes for the hundreds of other recently created Ghanaian politician articles with very few references. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 22:00, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep if the subject really was a member of the first parliament of the second republic of Ghana, the article ought to be kept per WP:NPOL as a member of a national legislative body. Modussiccandi (talk) 22:21, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep passes WP:NPOL. Mccapra (talk) 05:08, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep members of national parliaments are very clear passes of politician notability. This has never even been disputed. On the other hand sub-national legislature members in places that operate by the federal system their has at time been some resistance to inclusion of all of them (New Hampshire has over 400 members of its house of representatives for example), but we have whenever that has been discussed decided for mass inclusion. I would even argue that members of a parliament are in total probably slightly more likely to be notable than members of a legislature in a system with seperation between the executive and legislative branches, but I still would endorse keeping. This person very clearly meets inclusion criteria.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:19, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Article does need improvement, but members of the national legislature clearly pass WP:NPOL — it's what we call an inherently notable role, meaning that it's so important for us to have an article that as long as it can be verified that he held the claimed role and isn't a hoax, we have to keep an article regardless of its current state of sourcing.

Keep Agree with Bearcat on this one. The subject passes WP:NPOL as a member of the national parliament, but it could definitely use some work on sourcing. Bkissin (talk) 15:26, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
