  • Ali Baba KhanEndorse. Clear consensus here that the keep decision was OK. Some people felt that No Consensus might have been more accurate, but nobody actually objected to the actual close. You can WP:RENOM the article if you wish. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:54, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BLP was kept but I believe the "keep" was not justified. The AfD was sock infested as noted here. At-least two established editors (DBigXray and Mar4d) cited coverage from Dawn, The Express Tribune to establish the WP:N, however these news stories contains namedrops, and quotes from the subject, which longstanding practice holds cannot be used to support the notability of the subject Saqib (talk) 04:33, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Given the socks, !vote wise, I think NC would have been a better close. But that Dawn article is hard to argue against. I'd say keep is justified and maybe the best close. Either way, that discussion couldn't result in deletion. endorse Hobit (talk) 08:01, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Closer's comment: I'm in favor of a relist if the SPI finds that there was socking beyond the obvious IPs, but otherwise the consensus for delete isn't there in this discussion. Sandstein 08:09, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse removing the socks and the article creator, it's a fairly even AfD: there is a significant disagreement about whether the sources were significant coverage. While no consensus would have been a viable close, there was clearly no consensus to delete, and I don't see enough in the AfD to give weight to any side.

  • Endorse. That discussion cannot have been closed as “delete”. If you think the participants got it wrong, see WP:RENOM. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:12, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse . At best it could have close as NC, therefore Keep is reasonable close here. It can still be renominated after some time.–Ammarpad (talk) 08:37, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
