This individual's lack of notability is evident, as several sources within the article don't explicitly mention his name. Most references provide only a vague and fleeting acknowledgment of his existence, with one source even labeling him as "certain Aurangzeb Faruqi." Furthermore, his absence of electoral victories disqualifies him based on the stipulations outlined in WP:POLITICIAN. This cumulative evidence underscores the compelling rationale for advocating the removal of this Wikipedia article. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 01:20, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A highly controversial but very much notable person. The article needs improvement not deletion. Muneebll (talk) 10:35, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:NPOL sets *inclusive* criteria, not meeting those criteria is not grounds for deletion, it only indicates that presumed notability is not available. NB WP:NEXIST, simple search shows sourcing to satisfy the WP:GNG: eg BBC Urdu (2015), Nawaiwaqt (2021), Daily Pakistan (2023). AfD is not clean up.

Keep: I can see multiple reliable sources of Urdu version to satisfy GNG. M.Ashraf333 (talk) 11:40, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP This article already has many references from reliable sources - newspapers and book sources. In my view, there is no doubt about his notability. Meets WP:GNG...Ngrewal1 (talk) 18:47, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
