Comment There is enough neutral stuff to consider this article. There may be some technical mistakes (as it is my first article) which I am ready to update. To validate Haroon Khawaja as a notable and politician i have found some more following links.
First two references (Daily Times and Pak Observer) are already cited in the article despite the fact they both doesn't contain much information about the subject. YouTube interviews are usually not cited unless the video is produced by a well reputed source. The TV channels (Such TV and Royal News) who did interview are not considered a RS so I won't cite the YouTube interviews. lahoreworld.com source is not a RS. --

@
Toddy1:: Both sources Pakistan Telegraph and Lahore World) are clearly questionable sources with no editorial oversight so why not avoid them as they surely has a poor reputation for fact checking and accuracy that WP:RS requires. I don't know how to prove that both are unreliable sources but being a local, I never heard about them nor they're being used on Wikipedia as references apart from a couple of bio pages. --

@
Saqib: Thank you for explaining why you believe that Pakistan Telegraph and Lahore World might be "questionable sources" - you are a local, and have never heard of them. But you do accept that the following sources are reliable?
Yes I do, and I know the subject received several press mentions in The Nation but I wonder if merely getting press mentions makes one notable enough to warrant an entry on WP? majority of press mention in The Nation just quote his name and position and nothing else. I'm failed to find a single source which look like a bio or profile or even discuss about his education, career, family etc. Anyways, If you still disagree with me and think that getting press coverage makes one notable then lets close this nomination, keep the page and spend time on something else. Thank you. --

Speedy Keep As way too soon for another nomination per
WP:DELAFD - "After a deletion debate concludes and the consensus is in favour of keeping the page, users should allow a reasonable amount of time to pass before nominating the same page for deletion again, to give editors the time to improve the page. Renominations shortly after the earlier debate are generally closed quickly. It can be disruptive to repeatedly nominate a page in the hope of getting a different outcome" — Preceding

Comment I don't think it is particularly helpful to fall back on a point of procedure to try and hasten the close of the Afd. There is obviously serious doubt as regards the notability of the subject in the mind of
Saqib. Being closer to a culture gives you a much better understanding of it. The references raised by
User:Toddy1 are mostly not there, and the article is hanging on by it's proverbial fingernails. In the last Afd, the premise was it passed
WP:BASIC by coverage, but Saqib show the coverage is not reliable, hence, it is not enough to satisfy the BLP process.

Keep - Notability of a person is determined by physical ground facts and how citizens of Pakistan recognise the person. In this particular case building of Industrial estates, managing and hold different portfolio's have made HK a person who is respected and praised. — Preceding
