This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Pakistan. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Pakistan|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Pakistan. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.
This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Asia.

- Comment: The article claims that he was elected to the Punjab provincial assembly in 2008; this would qualify him for WP:NPOL as a Pakistani state legislator. However, the cited source ([1]) does not indicate that he was elected in that race for the listed district. I think that sentence may be a case of broken English (using "elected" instead of "ran for election" and "He defeated" instead of "He was defeated by"). As such, does not appear to be an WP:NPOL pass. Also note that the dead links are available via archive.org. Curbon7 (talk) 23:02, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment I cannot confirm that he was a member of the Punjab Provincial Assembly via the members' directory. Concur with Curbon7, does not satisfy NPOL, no presumed notability. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 01:23, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

- speedy delete without prejudice to recreation with sources It's bad enough that we have to dig through all the geostubs to verify that they aren't misrepresenting their database sources (because so many are bogus), but nothing is lost by deleting those that are unsourced. It is colossal waste of time to have multiple people chasing around for sources, when it could be the one person making a sourced article, were that possible.

- Keep per LaundryPizza03. I've edited this article; one of the sources is a permanent dead link, but the other actually supports some of the content in the page. The sockpuppetry is certainly tedious in the extreme, but not a valid reason for deletion; the protection applied by Daniel Case should help to limit that. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:10, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Did some looking and found an archived link by the National Reconstruction Bureau (NRB), Government of Pakistan that still works and replaces the 'permanent dead link' mentioned above. I have already added this link to this article. Since it's an archived link, hopefully it won't go dead on us...Ngrewal1 (talk) 17:42, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Though not altogether convinced Laspur is the name of the town — the sources in the article only confirm it's a council area. Think the village/town is called Sor Laspur, with Laspur being the name of a valley and river as well as the council. Still, the article could cover all these and Sor Laspur appears to be a legally recognised populated place under WP:GEOLAND.

Doesn't meet WP:FILMMAKER. Most of the references are borderline WP:REFBOMBING which doesn't prove notability or support the text; for instance, "He is well known for directing the Punjabi comedy film Carry On Jatta 3." is only semi-supported by the seventh reference, which isn't an independent source.

- Delete At present, none of the RSes provide significant coverage, and many of the sources are unreliable. Two sources provide more significant coverage, but I question their reliability. I've googled Zaman and didn't come across any better sources, but there may be some in Punjabi. Significa liberdade (talk) 21:15, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment:I want to express my opinion This user User:Significa liberdade seems to have some deep conflict and problem with this article. He tampered with this page twice before so I reverted him I also said that removing all references to a page is equivalent to destroying it. Even after stopping a user once, he was repeatedly and causing vandalism. I have been watching for a long time that this user User:Significa liberdade fighting a personal battle As an editor of Wikipedia, I refuse to accept its opinions. And I have a request to any Wikipedia administrator to check all its edit He is busy getting many articles deleted and fighting his personal battles. Zimidar (talk) 08:28, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: I am on New Page Patrol and have "tampered" with the article to help it meet Wikipedia's standards. I'm happy to have any administrator review my actions, though. (she/her, by the way) Significa liberdade (talk) 13:47, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Strongly Keep Nasir Zaman is considered as one of the best and famous Director, producer of Pakistan, Even after reaching the heights of fame, he still meets common people as if he is not a popular star. He has got coverage in many Indian news. He announced his career in 2021 And also has many of his projects, upcoming.The Indian ExpressTimes Of IndiaOutlook IndiaUniversal CinemasCinemaQatardajiworld Still there has been a of Indian and and Pakistani News Site coverage about him, Mostly you will see names associated with other actresses in their coverage.ZeeFilmNews18FreePressJournalianLiveMedeberyaa Because in every project he works together with the entire team as a director, producer or actor. Famous Indian actor Aamir Khan took his his name during the movie promotion of Carry On Jatta 3. and praised his work. I find it difficult to assess the reliability of Pakistani sources and we don't appear to have a WP:RSN page for the country. However, there does appear to be in-depth coverage in sources which I assess as probably reliable, covering multiple events / aspects of this WP:BLP. Keep, monitor for neutrality and overdetail. Zimidar (talk) 09:23, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: None of the sources provided above provide significant coverage of Nasir Zaman. Significa liberdade (talk) 13:49, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Despite the plethora of sources being thrown around, they all appear to either grossly fail WP:SIGCOV or act as a functional database entry showing actor, director, and producer credits for a film - neither of which support notability. As an example, the FreePressJournal source mentions Zaman a single time to credit him for directing the film Maujaan Hi Maujaan. The remainder of the article is an interview with an actor. I cannot seem to find anything online searching myself, but as Significa liberdade commented, it's possible sources may exist in another language. —Sirdog (talk) 04:50, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Delete As said above, doesn't meet WP:FILMMAKER. Most of the references are film reviews not specifically about the subject, cinema showing times (I'm not sure I've seen that before) or are primary sources. I think there was one (?) secondary source. One of the links was so riddled with spam my phone sent me a dangerous link warning. For now, the subject isn't notable.

The result was delete. This was a tough one; my hat is off to @Liz: for keeping it running this long. Views expressed here are passionate, and seem evenly divided. But upon closer inspection, almost all the "Keep" !votes rely on irrelevant reasons. Yes, the guy certainly exists, as is supported by a plethora of reliable sources, and I'm sure he is very popular. But none of that counters the basic problem of WP:1E. At this point, the man has not achieved notability that is independent from that one event. Owen× ☎ 23:15, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

- Strong Keep: He is not among people notable for only one event. He went viral by chance then he became a professional model for brands, he did music videos as a model, and now he opens a cafe. On his every achievement, he has good media coverage. So, WP:IE does not apply here. Pakistani and international media cover him. Even Indian news sources which are RS, cover him.--Ameen Akbar (talk) 06:04, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Final relist. Let's table the issue of how this subject became notable and focus on sources that establish notability. Right now, this is looking like a No consensus closure.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:29, 11 November 2023 (UTC)- @Liz: Most of the Keeps are votes without substantial reasoning.
- 1 listed by Oaktree is just a story on WP:1E event. The famous chaiwala might be from Afghanistan. (Bold is 1E, Italics is the coverage).
- While there may have been significant coverage on the subject, but it is still WP:SIGCOV of WP:1E
- is a very popular person is WP:STRAWMAN argument.
- If he is a professional model (and went viral by chance), the WP:RS should mention as such, instead of building story on the WP:1E event (as shown above).
- Therefore, there is no substantial keep. Thanks, User4edits (talk) 04:00, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Liz: Most of the Keeps are votes without substantial reasoning.
- Strong Delete: When every source goes, "Hey, remember that guy whose photo went viral? Here's what he's doing now!" it's overwhelmingly WP:1E. Modeling and owning cafes aren't typically notable and the few media stories that cover his activities only exist because of the single event. Agree with the editor above that the keep votes are mostly non-arguments; see WP:POPULARITY and WP:FAME. Uhai (talk) 21:31, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
- Strong Keep. 13 reliable publications from 5 different countries are there to meet Basic. I am pretty sure that 13 reliable publications from 5 different countries are not in Arshad's pocket to promote him or get him a Wikipedia article! Clear case of Sigcov. Okoslavia (talk) 15:47, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
- In the light of WP:PRIMARYNEWS, what, if any, of those 13 sources are secondary sources? From WP:BASIC:
Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.
Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 19:26, 18 November 2023 (UTC) - No one here is alleging this is promotion and your argument doesn't address the concern of WP:1E. There can exist many reliable sources and it can still be 1E. Uhai (talk) 23:01, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
- In the light of WP:PRIMARYNEWS, what, if any, of those 13 sources are secondary sources? From WP:BASIC:
- Delete- It is not that this person cannot be notable. Models can be notable, and notability might be achieved for other reasons too. The problem here is it is WP:TOOSOON to say whether this person will be notable or just a 1E footnote. There are 13 sources in the article, which the better keep arguments have addressed. One of them is the BBC. However, no attention has been given to the fact that these are primary sources (see WP:PRIMARYNEWS) They are news reports about someone becoming a model because of a photograph. Whether you class that as events or human interest stories, these are primary. These do not count towards notability. There have been a string of keep votes that are not based in policy, but the policy reasons for keep have argued notability. Sourcing does not back up those arguments. Fails WP:GNG. Again, this may just be TOOSOON. Deletion now should be without prejudice to re-creation of the article in the future if secondary sources clearly establish notability.

No indication of WP:SUSTAINED coverage to pass WP:EVENTCRIT which states Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance. Unlike what others stated, routine bus accidents in the West where many people die don't usually get their own wikipedia article unless they have some sort of broad and lasting impact such as WP:LASTING and WP:GEOSCOPE, or if the sourcing is unusually in-depth and of lasting duration per WP:PERSISTENCE and WP:DIVERSE. We have many such accidents in the USA that don't have encyclopedic coverage on wikipedia for the simple fact that they aren't all that remarkable because vehicular accidents with many fatalities are sadly not that unusual. In order to demonstrate that a particular motor vehicle accident is encyclopedic there must be sustained coverage which extends beyond the news cycle.4meter4 (talk) 16:26, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. Per the notability guideline, a subject requires WP:SUSTAINED coverage, and this applies doubly for events (WP:PERSISTENCE). GNG also requires secondary sources, and breaking news is a primary source (WP:RSBREAKING). "23 people killed" is an arbitrary number argument that has nothing to do with the notability criteria. Furthermore, there's simply no logic in saying an event is notable because "it was in the news"; there are dozens of major news events around the world every single day, and it's unreasonable to presume we should have an article about all of them. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 00:38, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

- Delete Fails WP:Sigcov. Maliner (talk) 16:42, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. I agree with Necrothesp. Unlike car accidents, bus accidents are not routine at all. The vast majority of articles that we have on bus accidents in Europe and the United States are about accidents that killed far fewer people than the accident here, and deleting a similar accident in Pakistan contributes to a systemic bias towards Western topics that we should aim to avoid. Sjakkalle (Check!) 17:42, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
- That's not a policy based argument. WP:OTHERSTUFF arguments are listed as arguments to avoid at AFD. It's possible those articles also may not meet our notability guidelines. In this case no evidence has been put forward that this particular accident passes WP:EVENTCRIT which is policy.4meter4 (talk) 17:53, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
- I was waiting for someone to throw WP:OTHERSTUFF at me. Outright dismissal of any argument aiming for some geographic consistency in what we consider to be notable events is a rather superficial counter-argument. Indeed, the essay you cited says: "countering the keep or delete arguments of other people, or dismissing them outright, by simply referring them to this essay is not encouraged". But to cite some policy/guideline: I will point out that the coverage here is diverse and nation-wide, and provoked reactions from the state-wide authorities, far beyond the "routine" local coverage that EVENTCRIT refers to. I would argue that this is more than sufficient to pass criterion #2 of that guideline. "Routine coverage", in the way that EVENTCRIT uses it, would apply to passenger car accidents, not major public transportation disasters. Sjakkalle (Check!) 18:18, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
- Than make that argument with evidence by presenting the sources you believe meet the policy standard. The only way we can operate at AFD is by relying on policies developed through wide community input and consensus. I personally disagree with the claim you made above simply because the cited references do not meet any of the WP:EVENTCRIT criteria in regards to WP:DIVERSE or WP:SUSTAINED and the sources, while national, do not extend beyond the news coverage of the event as required by EVENTCRIT. (see bolded language quoted directly from policy in my comment above). We need other kinds of sources such as books, journal articles, etc. that are WP:NOTNEWS to pass DIVERSE and EVENTCRIT. Or we need coverage of the event over a lengthy period of time (as in a minimum of a year or longer). If all you have is media in the short window right after the event happened, than I'm sorry that is not DIVERSE and it is not SUSTAINED and it is exactly why WP:NOTNEWS was written. Particularly for a routine tragic events like a bus accident we need to see long-term coverage to prove notability. Wikipedia has a lagging indicator of notability written into our policies for a reason.4meter4 (talk) 21:07, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

- Draft - I think the fairest thing to do here is to draftify. I see whispers in sources that it is a verifiable thing, but these tend to be mentions. It may well be a thing discussed in depth in Pashtun sources. I can't find them and unless someone else offers them, I'm not sure any of the rest of us are in a position to assess them. JMWt (talk) 08:42, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
- We should not be draftifying articles that are over five years old. We also cannot simply assume that in-depth sourcing exists - we don't need the actual sources, but we need proof of their existence. Otherwise we would be forced to keep anything with potential for non-English sourcing, no matter how little actual indication there is of it. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 09:07, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Keep. This source has several pages of information about a military conflict impacting the village where the Umar Khel live (the village is also named Umar Khel). The 2011 source also has brief coverage of a different military conflict involving the Umar Khel. This 2020 source lists them as an existing subdividsion of the Hotak Khel/Hassan Khel tribe and this 1983 source and this 2004 source list them as under the Nano Khel. The United States government geo located the tribe in this 1962 source, this 1922 source includes them, as does this 1914 source. The first source is really the only one with in-depth coverage, but I think that a verifiable people group is encyclopedic. Lastly I am fairly confident that significant coverage exists in J. A. Robinson (1978). Notes on Nomad Tribes of Eastern Afghanistan. Gosha-e-Adab. which is snippet view stated "Umar Khel . - 95 families which are nomadic and have no flocks or land , exist by trade between Kandahar and Dera Ismail Khan . They migrate with the Nasar..." That's all I could see but it appears there was more.4meter4 (talk) 16:21, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
