This self-proclaimed 'motivational' speaker doesn't seems to meet WP:GNG. This same story also states he has "no credentials or experience." Most of the media coverage he's received stem from his controversial appointment as chairman of the Lahore Arts Council, which itself isn't a notable position or office. Additionally, while there is some press coverage on "Qasim Ali Shah" it's difficult to say if it all pertains to this same individual, given the commonality of the name in Pakistan. Moreover, considering his self-proclaimed status, it's plausible that he may have paid for promotional interviews like this one. —Saqib (talk | contribs) 16:53, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I can only find coverage of the the controversial statements made; the Dawn source used seems RS but it's still a small article. I don't think he's notable just for being shot down on Twitter over things said. I can't find sourcing about his other activities, so doesn't seem to be notable.

Delete per above, and especially WP:SIGCOV. Corporate trainers are too common to have an article on every one of them. We have been very hesitant to keep article that are only sourced to "controversial statements" of BLPs. Bearian (talk) 14:08, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
