Fails WP:NOTABILITY per provided sources. Not a single source is reliable and independent. Full of promo materials and unpublished synthesis. Rahat (Message) 19:22, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep The guy is notable for his works, but the problem is that out of the 4 sources, the couple of sources provided does not give any info about the subject. So if the referencing is improved, it is worthy to be included in WP.    Owais Khursheed  (Talk to me ) 19:53, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Absolutely notable person. &mdash;  Masum Ibn Musa  Conversation 15:35, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - May he is notable. But the present version of the article does not indicate significance of the subject. We need reliable sources to establish notability. - Rahat (Message) 07:41, 17 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep I concur that English sources are few. However, I find the blatant accusation that it is "full of promo materials" dripping with underlying vested interests. Information is never neutral; just the suggestion that something is not neutral without clearly stating how so (this article has been reviewed by several editors already and the subject is perfectly notable), is in itself suspect. Since the subject is a notable person and he has written widely in Urdu and Bangla as well, I suggest collaboration and searching up information on finding out sources from the non-English arena as well.  ~Mohammad Hossain~  03:36, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
