Keep: The organization is based on Pakistan, but they operate in Kashmir Valley which is a part of India. How doest these commanders are regarded local commander when they operate in a foreign country? The Indo-Pak relations and Kashmir Conflict are two instrumentals of the disputed region and for the subject in question. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 12:02, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I meant "area commander". It doesnt matter which country they operated. Please check WP:MILPERSON to understand why we cannot have article on every regional/area commander who gets appointed. Similarly, we do not create articles on every soldier, Lieutenant, Major, colonel of Army when they are appointed as regional commanders or their death. ⋙–DBigXray 12:10, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Insurgency in J&K was first identified in 1989 and thousands of militants were killed. In 2019, 160 terrorists were killed in one year. Did editors create articles about everyone? They know that everyone is not notable. Any small soldier or militant is a subject of notable when their presence or death has a negative effects on diplomatic relations between the two countries, or leads United Nations meeting over Kashmir after a violence caused by death of a militant. More AfD participants are needed to explain the subject's notability to help others understand. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 04:55, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sayeed Salahudeen is the Chief of the militant organization and he is notable per WP:MILPERSON. The area commanders who are basically the foot soldiers are not. Anyone who is familiar with Indo Pak conflict knows well that Pakistan issues diplomatic protests and political statements by its leaders on every incident happening in Kashmir on almost daily basis. Where is the link of UN meeting over his appointment ? --⋙–DBigXray 06:30, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
