The sole reference is a dead link. The previous authors have not provided any references or reasons to about the person's notability. The only reference I could find of the actress is this link: http://www.tv.com.pk/celebrity/Saba-Faisal/124/biography. I don't think the reference is noteworthy or reputed.

Delete Hi, Snehahurrain, Thank you for providing references, but I don't believe that provided references are credible enough. Wikipedia does not consider IMDB as a reliable source for career credits. Wikipedia:Citing_IMDb#Inappropriate_uses has more details on this matter. Most of the information on IMDB is user provided.

Your 2nd source http://www.tv.com.pk/ is one of the verticals of http://www.onepakistan.com.pk/. One Pakistan claims to be a Pakistan's new portal, but it's own "About Page" located at permalink http://www.onepakistan.com.pk/data/corp/ suggests that it is a marketing company, and not an organization that is considered to publish trustworthy information. I quote from their website

OnePakistan.com is a venture of Growfurther Infotech Inc, a private company specializes in brand building, marketing and web 2 development

.

A link from a marketing website can not be relied upon to be a trustworthy source.

http://www.stylishpie.com/top-5-pakistani-celebrities-look-younger-real-age/ resembles a listicle functioning as a clickbait. The website itself states that it is a Pakistan celebrity gossip site. Wikipedia has strict standards on what constitutes a reliable reference. All references must pass WIKIPEDIA:CHALLENGED criteria. I am not sure that a gossip site like stylishpie meets that criteria.

In the absence of sources that meet WIKIPEDIA:CHALLENGED, I believe that this article should be deleted. Manoflogan (talk) 07:28, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and I would consider this a BLPPROD by now, still nothing at all actually suggestive of independent notability, a list of works: yes, but still nothing better aside from that. SwisterTwister talk 04:36, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
