 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment How about adding the soures to the article and using inline citation, so we can check to determine if the guy is really notable. scope_creep (talk) 11:01, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment There is still no valid sources for this article, and it would need a major rewrite, or copy edit to ensure it meet WP standards and to remove the advertising links which point to hotels and other groups. No real sources have been incorporated into the article as yet. scope_creep (talk) 08:52, 10 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep. The main flaw with the article is that it has inline links, rather than citations.  This can be fixed.  As a Pakistan businessman, politician and columnist he is mentioned in Pakistan newspapers and websites:  Pakistan Observer, Lahore World, Daily Times, Pakistan Defence, Pakistan Telegraph.  He is clearly notable.--  Toddy1 (talk) 11:24, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment He is not a politician. Nowhere in the articles or refs does it mention that. He is part of a gang that has set up a new political party, but as yet, he has not been elected. He akin to an insider, or possible something like K-street lobbyist or a consultant. I think from those ref's he is probably notable. I think the article probably needs substantial copyedit. scope_creep (talk) 02:21, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - autobiography and self promotion. --Saqib (talk) 18:46, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Do you have any reason to think that the user who wrote the biography is the subject of the biography?-- Toddy1 (talk) 20:33, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
