Fails WP:NBIO, WP:1E.

Sources are either trivial coverage or non-WP:RS

1) Wikipedia mirror
2) Mentions event but not article subject
3) Forum post
4) Does not mention article subject
5) Trivial mention. WP:NOTNEWS coverage of his death. Information about article subject limited to the two sentences "Colonel Arif hailed from Punjab and was serving in the Frontier Works Organisation".
6) Literally same link as 5
7) Two sentence trivial coverage, and not WP:INDEPENDENT as a military PR wing
8) Again, coverage of the event, not the article subject. "FWO also lost one of his officers, Col. Arif Mehmood, during the excavation process." A412 (Talk • C) 06:45, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable person. His previous page was a reviewed reviewed article through AFC but later it was deleted by an Administrator due to sockpuppet case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 39.62.18.194 (talk) 15:47, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Notable: passes General notability criteria. According to sources: Firstly he was not only a Colonel, he was a Commander of the Attabad Lake Project. And on his death, news channels, news papers and ISPR break the news that Commander of Attabad project gave his life. And third, he was awarded by Tamgha-e-Basalat , Tamgha-e-Imtiaz by President and Yaadgari shield by Army Chief of Staff as above mentioned by Teeti7 (talk).

Relisting comment: After review, nearly all the comments were from sockpuppets of a banned user. I've taken the unusual step of semi-protecting this AFD page, and relisting it to generate consensus from real editors.
