 * Delete not notable as either a medical doctor or a painter.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:50, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete agree, not notable as either physician or artist per available sourcing.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 15:23, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly a personal revenge nomination and some, not all, of the above Delete votes are cast by people who don't like me voting 'Keep' on articles here or even on AfD India and want me to stop doing that at both places. To be candid here, this is an obvious case of AfD Forum being used as a weapon. The subject's notability as a painter has been acknowledged by 2 different and independent major newspapers of Pakistan that covered his painting talent in exclusive articles. In addition, since he's a Pakistani-American painter, his paintings were shown at Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in September 2010 in Michigan, ArtExpo, New York in March 2011 and at Canton Museum of Art in Canton, Ohio. Hopefully, our Wikipedia community considers this article on its merits (6 different references back up the article). Ngrewal1 (talk) 17:50, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Since 2016, when I first discovered most of the Pakistani articles on painter-artists were in poor shape and neglected, I have been trying to maintain and improve them all – for those people who are familiar with these noted and award-winning artists from Abdur Rahman Chughtai, Sadequain, Shakir Ali (artist), Jamil Naqsh, Anna Molka Ahmed, Colin David and Ismail Gulgee...just to name a few of the artists' articles out of nearly 25 that I have trying to maintain. I edit artists because I am interested in them and for my own self-satisfaction. Ngrewal1 (talk) 02:43, 27 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep The subject passes the artist guidelines. - Aaqib Anjum Aafī (talk) 07:42, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * He doesn't pass any of the "artist guidelines", but please do describe which point of WP:ARTIST you think he passes?ThatMontrealIP (talk) 18:29, 29 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete This individual does not meet the WP:ARTIST notability standards. After searching online, I found some information about him as a doctor, but not anything to distinguish him from hundreds of thousands of other doctors. On Google Scholar I see that there are a lot of journal articles that he has (co)written, perhaps someone more familiar with the WP guidelines for scientists/doctors might want to have a look at these. Netherzone (talk) 15:59, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment 5 out of 6 article references highlight him as a painter-artist, not a doctor. As a creator of the article that was my original intent in 2016. Ngrewal1 (talk) 17:42, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello,, I do see that the article highlights their work as an artist, however they do not meet the requirements for notability standards for artist, as per WP:ARTIST at this time. Perhaps it is a case of WP:TOOSOON, because there needs to be more WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS and/or evidence of several notable awards and/or several museum permanent collections. If verifiable sources exist to substantiate notability, please add them to the article. Netherzone (talk) 17:58, 27 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep Notable according to available sources--Irshadpp (talk) 06:31, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets GNG; commentator in US press on cancer/palliative care issues, recognition in Pakistani press for art, past president of the Pakistan Association of America, coverage in newspapers of record in Pakistan.

 * Delete Does not meet WP:ARTIST notability standards. Is not a notable doctor. One could argue that he's 10% of the way to notability as a doctor, and maybe 50% there as an artist, but I don't think he meets WP:GNG's standards overall. JimKaatFan (talk) 13:27, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
