May be hoax. No independent sources. Re-created after previous deletion. Known COI problem (see WP:COIN). Known sockpuppet problem (see Sockpuppet investigations/Akbaralighazi/Archive) John Nagle (talk) 04:32, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Weak delete - I don't think it is a hoax. Previous AfDs have found a couple sources, here and here, and on proquest there is another, here. I feel each of these are about Rehmat Aziz Khan Chitrali more than the academy, but the academy certainly exists, at least as an organization for the publishing of Chitrali's work. Further, I think Chitrali sounds like an impressive person and should be commended. However, their work with WMF and writings here seem to focus on international promotion, which is difficult and important for an organization, but an article like this which seems meant largely for promotion isn't really encyclopedic. If there was coverage of the institute from which an article could be based, then it would be easier to write an article about the organization. As is, I can't differentiate the organization from Chitrali on the basis of reliable sources. Smmurphy(Talk) 20:19, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - doesn't pass the basic notability criteria. Cited sources are unreliable so cannot be cited. --Saqib (talk) 23:29, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete as the latest still non-notable recreation of an article about an "academy" that has been found non-notable multiple times, first as Khowar Academy Pakistan and then under its current name. Both this article and its companion article, Rehmat Aziz Chitrali, are nothing but blatant self-promotion, created by socks of indefinitely blocked sockpuppeteer Akbaralighazi, whose latest socks were blocked only five days ago. - Tom &#124; Thomas.W talk 05:34, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. The lack of independent sources suggests lack of notability. Those sources that do exist either come from Khowar Academy or treat Rehmat Aziz and not the Academy as such. Cnilep (talk) 00:07, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
