This is a reformatted version of a request made by User:Betterlife2011, which read "Lt Gen(R) Mohammad Shafiq wants to remove this article immediate effect. And he doesnt permit any publication about his personal or professional life." - Jarry1250 ^{[Weasel? Discuss.]} 20:59, 25 December 2011 (UTC) - Jarry1250 ^{[Weasel?

• Keep: WMF legal counsel Geoff Bingham has since established that, to his knowledge, there is no legal reason why we have to uphold this request for deletion even if we believe the user is an authorised agent of the subject (or indeed the subject himself). As noted by others on WT:MILHIST, the notability of the subject is not in question, and the article does not seem to fail WP:BLP. Therefore, as I see it, it is in the interests of the encyclopedia to retain this article. - Jarry1250 ^{[Weasel? Discuss.]} 21:05, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
