 * Well, since the claim that it's [one of] the oldest car assemblers in Pakistan seems to be true, that's certainly a good claim to notability. I note also that however poorly the article is currently sourced, that's mainly an editing matter not for AfD; and it's fine to use primary sources for basic facts about the firm. I see from the google news search that the firm was substantial enough to venture into Air Indus, so it certainly sounds notable. Perhaps we should ask an Urdu speaker to locate suitable sources.

 * 'Old enough' is not a criteria and WP criteria is strict for-profit entities, see WP:CORPDEPTH. Nothing in-depth in any reliable source about them in recent times. Störm   (talk)  17:36, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete I've searched for any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability under the current name and the older name and all I can find are mentions-in-passing or directory listings. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 12:47, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
