A pair of well-respected admins seem to have a disagreement about the best disposition of this 5-year-unreferenced, allegedly promotional biography of a living person. I'm shipping this to AfD, this has waited too long to properly sort out.

The previous reason given by one of those two admins is "Completely unreferenced since its creation in 2005. 'Notability' tags have come and gone along  with  many  reverts of unsourced content  and vandalism." j⚛e deckertalk 05:21, 23 February 2014 (UTC) Withdrawn

 * Keep: I would like to take a shot at it and play a mediator role to keep it from being deleted, there is no doubt about notability of this person. It's only matter of finding proper sources and removing promotional content instead of removing the whole article. I would also like to mention that i have no personal affiliation with this person. As a matter of fact i have not seen this article myself so far.Sajjad Altaf (talk) 20:40, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Strong keep He is a well-known Pakistani media tycoon and is the founder of the Geo Television Network, which is Pakistan's largest television network. He also owns the Jang Group of Newspapers, one of the largest group of newspapers and publishing in the country. The recent additions of references by User:Smsarmad have elevated the article's sourcing.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 09:24, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Withdraw nomination  As far as I'm concerned, notability is uncontroversially established now via sources in the article.   --j⚛e deckertalk 15:52, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
