This page should not be speedily deleted because (it differs from the earlier article in terms of new/other sources, references, and offers a completely different perspective that highlights its significance) --Crosji (talk) 06:50, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the speedy deletion tag not because I believe it meets WP:N, but because imv the current version differs from the previous one. However, I’ve added some tags and noted that the BLP needs to be fixed. Otherwise, it may be taken to AFD, not necessarily by me though.

Thanks for explaining. I've also just noticed that the outcome of the last AFD was soft delete, so it was ineligible for G4 in any case. Sorry about that. I've done a hunt for significant coverage of the man, and failed to find anything that can improve this, so I've taken it back to AFD. Wikishovel (talk) 17:19, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I see that you've taken it to AFD. It's unfortunate that there is a lack of coverage on him, despite his importance in Pakistan's business community. Anyway, since @Crosji created the BLP, it is up to them to establish WP:N under GNG. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 17:27, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
