Fails WP:NPOL. Still no coverage found. 1st nomination ended in no consensus. Note: MFrazbaig is blocked now who participated in previous debate. Störm  (talk)  16:20, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Snow keep Doesn't seem like WP:BEFORE was followed. A user being blocked has no bearing on the article itself. The sources covering the subject were demonstrated.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 16:56, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Definitely some gaps in the nomination, like why is NPOL mentioned?  I found evidence in the previous AfD and the article that was not mentioned in the nomination, not to mention the previously mentioned absence of WP:BEFORE D1.  I found the Express Tribune article provided in the previous AfD to show the broad attention given to this author, Express Tribune.  Unscintillating (talk) 18:37, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
