Comment: Important note: what is needed is not multiple copies of the same press release, published in different places. The "new" sources added to the introduction in this edit and this edit are not new sources, they are the same source. bonadea contributions talk 16:39, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Apart from one reference [1], I do not find any other source mentioning him as a civil servant. Please do not try to game the system. In any case, notability is not established. Media mentions are PR pieces, and Addl Secy rank is not inherently notable. Thanks, Please feel free to ping/mention -- User4edits (T) 01:29, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: If he is Addl Secy, how is he a "lawyer", he must not be practicing law. It makes him a "civil servant". Thanks, Please feel free to ping/mention -- User4edits (T) 01:25, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
