 * Delete a non-notable businessman.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:32, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep as the bio fulfils WP:ANYBIO – the subject has received an important national award (Sitara-e-Imtiaz), ergo is inherently notable. kashmīrī  TALK  23:30, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The award is third highest honor so they can't pass without coverage. Störm   (talk)  13:36, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Added a few sources. Feel free to search for Urdu sources if you want a proof of more covereage. kashmīrī  TALK  15:34, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment The unresolved question here is whether Sitara-e-Imtiaz is an award sufficiently important to confer notability on everyone of its recipients. I think it can be argued both ways. — kashmīrī  TALK  18:46, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment As only one Wikipedia editor, if I try to diminish or overvalue the award, then it's simply one person's assertion or opinion. Isn't it? Let 'Pakistani people at large' and the Pakistani government decide what its value really is. Ngrewal1 (talk) 01:37, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I am sorry but Wikipedia is not in Pakistan. It is up to the WP project to decide on categories of people that are eligible for a WP article. — kashmīrī  TALK  01:49, 10 April 2020 (UTC)


 * - Of course, that is obviously true and we all know it. Everything I write here on Wikipedia is owned by Wikipedia community, not me. We all are supposed to follow Wikipedia policies and guidelines. WP Project policy says clearly that we should use phrases based on facts and try to keep a neutral point of view even when nominating an article for deletion. Is that policy being followed? When WP Project people decide that such and such awards are no longer recognized just like reliable and unreliable sources for references on articles. I would have to abide by that and even stop mentioning those awards here on Wikipedia. Ngrewal1 (talk) 16:56, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Now much-improved article after fixed it and added 3 newspaper references. Ngrewal1 (talk) 18:30, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep, notable subject, having received one of the highest civil awards of Pakistan, Sitara-i-Imtiaz. -Aaqib Anjum Aafī (talk)
