 * Weak Delete I am inclined towards deleting it on the grounds that the subject fails to find significant coverage in multiple reliable, secondary sources as required by basic criteria for the notability of a person. This is the only good source I find covering the subject significantly. Besides I think we should consider Davidwr's suggestion by running this AfD a little longer so to give the editor who started this article and is currently blocked a chance to take part in this discussion. --  S M S   Talk 20:57, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Strongly endorse extending this AFD until at least 3 days after Lollywoodcafe's block expires to allow him time to participate. Then again, it was my idea to hold off on the AFD until after he was unblocked :)  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  21:19, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
 * As an alternative fully-protect the page and unblock the editor immediately. davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  21:19, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - may barely pass WP:Notability but as written - and presumably as would need to be written for a fair article - the subject is portrayed in a bad light. This person is in that grey area between "most people would say not quite notable, a few would say barely notable" and "most would say barely notable, a few would say not quite notable."  For such articles, WP:BLP issues can and IMHO should turn the tide towards delete.  I'm open to changing my mind if there is new information, particularly from people in that industry or from that part of the world, that would indicate that he is well into "clearly notable" territory. davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  21:16, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Strong suggestion for the closing admin if this gets deleted: To prevent a "whitewash" article or conversely an "attack" article from being written, WP:SALT the page and all variations of his name, e.g. Malik Awan, Malik N Awan, and Malik N. Awan. In the meantime, I've watchlisted those 3 variants. davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  21:16, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep The person in question is a notable chief executive of a company and has been mentioned in several news sources. The person has also been the centre of controversy for different things. I think this passes notability standards and should be kept.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 10:19, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete --neither notable nor significantly covered. 39.54.10.247 (talk) 07:35, 7 October 2013 (UTC)Hilda Khan
 * Leaning delete – The subject appears to have had a contentious divorce, but that alone would not be enough for someone who wasn't notable to become notable. There is only one source about his business-related legal troubles - the other reference (currently labeled as [5]) provided for that in the article is about his company and mentions him only once. Per WP:NOTINHERITED, his company being notable wouldn't automatically make him notable, and his company doesn't have an article right now anyway.  If more references could be found regarding these business problems that were about him and not just the company, things might be different, but he doesn't look notable, at least not yet.
