Akbar Ali Khan Mayo

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Autobiographical entry for a journalist with no sign of notability. No third party sources, and Google searches for Akbar Ali Khan Mayo turn up only entries on various wikis. Prod and notability tags removed without improvements. Hairhorn (talk) 00:16, 26 November 2009 (UTC) For notability purpose ISPR Press Review should be consulted. And furhter more, article of MAnzoor Mirza should be view as Akbar Mayo contributed essays to the book of author which have been published under his name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.103.69.25 (talk) 16:57, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * delete, as per nom. His article is longer than that for the newspaper, which is shorter, doesn't mention him, and has only a red link to the owner. If it hasn't been improved already I can't see it getting better. JohnBlackburne (talk) 00:07, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The notability (or not) of Manzoor Mirza isn't relevant here, and ISPR Press Review is simply a press clippings service. Have a look at the notability guidelines and wp:otherstuffexists. Hairhorn (talk) 17:07, 30 November 2009 (UTC)


 * note I rv'd the last edit by 111.68.103.3 as vandalism, but overlooked the unsigned comment added at the end, so have copied it immediately below. JohnBlackburne (talk) 21:44, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Delete this author if you think it proper however, some one might need to know about the person.  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Tim Song (talk) 03:01, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

What more should be added to retain the article. The authors is a writer and someone might need to know about him. So if this article is deleted then there will be nothing to know about him.--111.68.103.3 (talk) 11:06, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - all sources are articles by the subject, not about the subject. Completely fails WP:BLP. Bearian (talk) 05:30, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete for lack of notability. Drmies (talk) 05:32, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The article needs evidence of notability, as described in WP:N and WP:BIO. That someone might need to know about him is not enough. JohnBlackburne (talk) 11:36, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

This author should be deleted as one of his articles caused controversy in newspaper. He represented a derogatory and one sided picture of the relations between two communities in Pakistan therefore deserve deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 111.68.103.3 (talk) 06:53, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Being controversial would make him more notable, not less... Hairhorn (talk) 02:20, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

We know him very well. He wrote many issues and his contentions were usually wrong and baised. Therefore delete him. He is not notable anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 111.68.103.3 (talk) 16:39, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
