I have discussed this with the AfD closer User:Tone, see User_talk:Tone#Articles_for_deletion/Shafiqul_Islam_Masud_(2nd_nomination). I had the article open on my browser to consider, then realised the AfD had been closed. I don't think that the nom's claim of non-notability was done on the right criteria. This man's claim to notability is not in being an unelected politican, but in being a party leader imprisoned under the country's Special Power Act for 3 years. He was arrested with others, but as the source headlines in the article indicate, as party leader he was the only one named. The sources given in the first AfD, including the Wall Street Journal [1], and The Guardian [2] and the arguments there (including WP:POLOUTCOMES 'Political figures not elected to public office': "Leaders of registered political parties at the national or major sub-national (state, province, prefecture, etc.) level are usually considered notable regardless of that party's degree of electoral success") resulted in a Keep, and the sources had not been included in the article. The nom for this 2nd AfD claimed that he was non-notable as an "unelected candidate", but in fact he has not stood for election until this year, when he is currently a candidate in an election to be held on 30 December 2018. (He was also arrested again this year [3], which is also not yet in the article.) While the article could have been improved, I believe that there are arguments and evidence not considered in this AfD, and I am rather suspicious of the nom's motives when the election is so close.
