Syed Basar

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable businessman, while there are an impressive amount of sources cited they are all either database listings, passing mentions in routine coverage of the company he is CEO of, and unreliable sources. Devonian Wombat (talk) 12:25, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep as person is notable and has has credible independent sources. Also he is one of most prominent business tycoons in the Middle East (Aaeeshaaadil4 (talk) 04:47, 27 May 2022 (UTC))
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete is what I'm thinking here. There are many, many sources who mention Syed Basar, but I cannot seem to find any that actually talk about him in any significant detail. It's all quotes from Basar or mentions that Basar is on a given board of directors or two-sentence bios that don't offer anything beyond a list of companies he's associated with. This paucity of significant coverage from reliable, independent sources makes me conclude they don't meet WP:NBIO or WP:GNG, because the coverage is trivial (to adopt the language of WP:NBASIC). That said, it is possible that I have missed something, so always happy to re-evaluate if others find, say, two to three high-quality sources with in-depth coverage of Basar himself. /wiae /tlk  23:16, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Pakistanis in the United Arab Emirates Delete –  I guess, will be best option here. While deep diving into Google search results, I found out that this CEO of a notable company (my claim after looking into Google search results) doesn't have the significant coverage to pass WP:GNG threshold, but I kinda believe, man like him having that much of a power and influence, will have significant coverage to pass WP:GNG (which we are unable to find right now). It'll be useful to keep this page history by making redirect. AHatd (talk)
 * interesting idea. It's a creative target for sure, but it occurs to me that redirecting to an article about an entire national group would be a more surprising target than what a reader might expect. On that basis I think I would still prefer deletion. What do you think? /wiae /tlk  11:16, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Yup, you're right mate, being redirected to an entire national group will be quite surprising to a reader. Company he works with (International Holding Company) is notable, but doesn't have mainspace page. And as this AfD is near to close, I don't think I can create page for this company that fast (Just to get this page redirected there). Also I see an abandoned draftspace copy of this page (Draft:Syed Basar Shueb), with a page history. So no real point in keeping this page and it's history.
