No apparent notability. Sources are promotional. Article looks like a resume. This is the third creation of this article by a WP:SPA. Previously deleted for G-11 advertising. 2nd creation was tagged PROD and subsequently speedy deleted when author indicated no objection to deletion. Article was quickly recreated. Request deletion with page protection to prevent 4th recreation without Admin approval. Ad Orientem ( talk) 19:10, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- This article is sourced from various sources and References are given in the article of various websites which features Pakistani or British Pakistani journalists and media personalities and they are very credible.I also studied various articles which are already on Wikipedia including the article on an other journalist of Pakistan, Hamid Mir. I tried to follow all the basic rules and writing style to improve this article.I believe there is no advertisement in it.If any thing in article in not fact I will be happy to consider that but raising objection without any solid reason seems biased to me.I am not sure what notability means in the eye of the person who is recommended the deletion.I request to kindly read the article again.If this article is against the Wikipedia Policy or look like resume then article regarding Mr.Mir and lot of other article which I studied and followed to write my article regarding Mr.Aslam must me deleted as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mian22 ( talk • contribs) 21:45, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- Delete and salt - beyond WP:OTHERSTUFF, comparisons to Hamid Mir don't have much credibility. Inclusion here is determined by notability ( WP:N) which usually requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. I'm not seeing anything like that here. By comparison, Mir's career has been covered extensive in international press. Many of the sources provided seem self-published or to have been extracted from the same profile elsewhere. I certainly don't think they qualify as significant coverage in independent sources. Many are just directory sites where the subject is one of many listed - those do not confer notability. The LinkedIn-esque style of the article can be fixed but the lack of notability can't. Suggested this be creation-protected to ensure admin/community permission in the event of future proposed recreation. Stalwart 111 01:08, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

- Delete -- He edits a minority language newspaper; has been a presenter on some minor radio of TV stations; and was an embedded jounralist in the 2nd Gulf War. None of it really enough to add up to notability. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:30, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- Delete - Official websites, Youtube, Vimeo, Zoominfo, a simple profile on some media search engines...this doesn't pass WP:GNG, and I'm not finding anything to justify passing the more specific WP:BASIC. MezzoMezzo ( talk) 03:52, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
- I would like to point this out that Mr.Aslam is working for ethnic media of UK.ARY digital is the biggest TV network of Pakistan.He also worked with other big names from ethnic media which I believe my friends who are commenting on this page have no knowledge.Its up to you either you keep it or delete it,it does not make much difference.Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mian22 ( talk • contribs) 00:10, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
