I will be happy to review this. I notice that the nominator and another contributor have been indefinitely blocked. I will post some initial feedback; if another editor responds to the feedback within a few days, we can continue the review. If there is no response in a few days, we will close this nomination. The article can always be nominated again later once an editor is prepared to address the resulting feedback. Larry Hockett (Talk) 08:42, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Lead

 * The lead section is far too short. It should summarize the contents of the body of the article. See WP:LEAD.
 * In the infobox, there is an unnecessary reference at the top. We don't need a reference for his name.
 * We do need a reference for the date of birth, and I don't see one.
 * I don't see how reference 2 (reviewit.pk) meets WP:RS (blog-style, user-generated content).
 * The URL for reference 3 (one of the BBC references) doesn't lead to the correct place anymore. Check the other references for this issue.
 * There is incorrect use of italics here and later in the article; this makes the entry hard to read. See MOS:ITALICS. For example, the names of people and companies generally should not be placed in italics.

Early life

 * This section is out of sequence. You mention the place of birth, family, college graduation, more family, then back to childhood.
 * There is a citation needed tag in this section.

I think I will stop there and await an initial response. Thanks. Larry Hockett (Talk) 09:07, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
 * This nomination should be summarily rejected. Dtt1 was blocked for undisclosed paid advocacy, which casts into doubt all material that was added. MER-C 20:16, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * You're right. I'm going to close this. Larry Hockett (Talk) 08:15, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
