The first ref cites the subject’s Wikipedia page, the second and third are about his brief arrest and release. I couldn’t find any better sources so the subject seems not to be notable.

I totally disagree with this. Firstly, you deleted the previous info that was edited. Now you're saying that you're gonna delete this because the it's not notable? He is very popular. He has 1.3 Million followers on Twitter. He's a very trendy person but I don't get why you're doing all this. Please stop this and let people actually make some edits on this page. Thank you.

Here are reason I believe you shouldn't delete this:
- Adil Raja is a famous journalist
- Adil Raja was the Spokesperson of the Pakistan Ex Servicemen Society
- Adil Raja is a famous whistle blower
- Adil Raja has almost half a million followers on Twitter
- He gets millions of views per month on his tweets
There is a lot of other information about him that's not included in this page. Maybe if you allow people to add that info, you won't say "seems not to be notable".

You can buy followers on Twitter, so that doesn't help notability, as you can views on Youtube. Spokesman for the Society is a PR job, which doesn't add to notability. If you can provide articles about his work as a journalist, not stuff he's written, we'd look at that.

SecondingMccapra's request for sources. Even for "famous-X" we need citations. I did a quick search in UK newspapers and did not find anything about him being detained (not arrested) in the UK. From the news articles in the wiki page this does not seem to be more than a single incident of not great import. Barring sources that would support his fame, it has to be delete per WP policy. I'll cycle back to see if anything changes.

I totally disagree. There are a ton of different articles on him. Please search "Adil Raja" on Google, then go to news. There are dozens of articles on him. Even by the most popular news companies in Pakistan. There is more relevant information which is missing but you didn't add. Especially about his illegal court martial. The official Pakistan Army Public Relations website released information about that but it's not added. So I think your opinion on him not being important is totally wrong. So, whoever nominated this page for deletion, please undo that. If you have any more questions or counter arguments, please share them. I'll make sure to reply Thank you.

Delete non-notable youtuber
[1], arrested for reporting. Most "evidence" seems to be faked, does not appear notable outside of having been arrested with a host of others.

Non-notable YouTuber?? His channel was one of the fastest growing channels amongst the journalist community in Pakistan. He gained 650K subscribers after half a year of starting his channel. Then it was obviously banned because of mass reports. Now YouTube doesn't even reply to tweets related to his issue. Why is that? Why are they trying to silence him? I really hope Wikipedia doesn't delete this and be an addition to this censorship

Delete: Currently, nothing notable regarding the individual except his conviction on espionage charges, and some other minor run-ins with law enforcement. Needs more coverage in the press to meet
WP:GNG and even,
WP:JOURNALIST. Article has potential to be recreated as I believe it is
WP:TOOSOON.
