Main claim to fame appears to be "first Pakistani food connoisseur to be featured in Forbes", but that article is a "contributor" piece, a self-published source as noted in WP:FORBESCON. The other articles appear to be similar PR efforts. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 16:49, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. I would consider anything written by Sonya Rehman (a past Fullbright Scholar in Journalism and a former Pulitzer-Moore Fellow at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism) as reliable given her pedigree as a journalist and subject matter expert in arts and culture journalism. She's written for the The Wall Street Journal, Al Jazeera. Time, etc. I don't think there is a strong argument to be made here against the Forbes article in terms of reliability. I would consider this as one high quality source towards passing WP:SIGCOV based on who the author is per WP:FORBESCON and the content. However, none of the other sources contain significant coverage and are fluffy self-promotional pieces. As such we lack multiple sources with independent significant coverage and the topic fails WP:SIGCOV. 4meter4 (talk) 17:50, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I agree with @4meter4, if the discussion is about Forbes article as a "Contributor piece". Seeing the previous publications of Sonya Rehman, It is hard to tell if the contribution was made under with personal interests. I would also say that Gulf Today reference is also considered as reliable. I would accept the final decision of the administrator but these references along with Advisor to Government's reference should be considered.

Delete: Promotional attempts, both the articles in forbes and gulf today are not coverage as such but are promotional. Nothing else can be found that states them as a significant contribution to their field. I am not sure, for what we can claim them as notable? as a vlogger. entrepreneur? Everything fails WP:GNG.

- Comment. As told by the user @4meter4 and my personal research it will be accurate to say Sonya Rehman's written article to be reliable passing WP:SIGCOV. Gulf Today as per saying was not a promotional article because of it being conducted via local survey a local Survey Conducted-Gulf Today[1], no hyperlink indications were seen if it was advertorial. Local news as per wikipedia notability can be promotional. There is no indication of him being an entrepreneur or a vlogger either, Particularly known for the style of representation of food. He should be considered as a chef and restaurateur instead. Piturru (talk) 17:39, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment User:Piturru, you have yet to address the WP:PAID question on your talk page. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:43, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
CU comment I have blocked the article's author, Piturru, as a CU-confirmed sock of a blocked editor. I have no doubt that this article was created for undisclosed payments, and it would be eligible for G5 deletion, but since some editors have already commented here I guess the discussion can run its course.

Delete per above as the subject does not seem to meet WP:GNG. Sahaib (talk) 11:24, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
