Refs provide no evidence of notability. Searches reveal a whole raft of mentions but all seem to be either advertisements from the travel industry (expedia, Booking.com) etc or personal reviews and social media including Pinterest, Facebook etc..

 * Commment - as noted in the nomination, there are many "review" sites out there re-posting press releases or advertorials. Of these only the last one seems independent, and advertising that the site lost its captive Dolphins due to negligence is probably not the greatest selling point for a water park.

 * Well, the first two sources are reliable mainstream news sites in Pakistan and can't be promotional about any non-notable park. The rest also don't appear to have any connection with the park admins.
 * There is some coverage in Urdu news media as well:
 * Urdu Point
 * City42 tv
 * Also, "independent coverage" doesn't necessarily mean "negative coverage". Insight 3 (talk) 10:22, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment - 3 children and 2 adults were killed at the park in December 2004 when a merry-go-round collapsed. This became the subject of a scholarly paper looking into the cause. Rupples (talk) 00:18, 26 November 2022 (UTC) These sources are known to the nominator of this AfD as they were pointed out as reasons to keep the article when the same nominator initially proposed deletion in 2020, yet have not been added to the article. Not sure where this leaves us. Rupples (talk) 01:01, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep I am working on the article - but it is clear that it is a notable water park. It is the largest water park in Pakistan. Lightburst (talk) 16:47, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
