The subject does not appear to meet GNG.. I tried WP:BEFORE this nomination, but was unsuccessful, unfortunately.

The BLP cites many unreliable sources. Saqib (talk) 16:01, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Keep Akbar Laghari is popular writer and critic of Sindhi Language. He is well known among comtemporary writers including people. He touches the notablity as writer.--Aziz Kingrani (talk) 18:19, 28 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Popular does not mean notable enough to warrant a WP entry. He simply fails to meet basic GNG. --Saqib (talk) 19:02, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

---Sir,it is my earnest request. What ever will be decided. I have no objection.. Regards.. --Aziz Kingrani (talk) 07:12, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable highest-level civil servant (HoD) and writer, meets the GNG.

 * What made you say that a Secretary of Sindh’s Culture and Tourism Department is a highest-level civil servant ? It is not. --Saqib (talk) 07:32, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
 * HoD - head of department - Secretary is the person reporting directly to the minister, it's the highest-level position. --Goldsztajn (talk) 10:42, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
 * He's isn't a Secretary in the Government of Pakistan but in Sindh, a province in Pakistan which means the position would not seem enough for the applicable notability. Going by your logic every Secretary in every province of Pakistan should have a Wikipedia page. Clearly the subject isn't notable as per Wikipedia standards. Pls keep in mind secretary to the ministry, is a civil service and not a political position.--Saqib (talk) 15:56, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Please don't misconstrue my statement; he is a "Secretary" whether Provincial or Federal, it is the title of his position and he reports directly to the Minister. I never claimed his position per se conveys notability; his position adds to it. The nature of his work brings him a higher profile; I doubt for example Aijaz Ahmed Mahesar, Secretary of the Sindh Provincial Department of Livestock and Fisheries would meet the GNG (but would be quite happy to be proved wrong).--Goldsztajn (talk) 17:40, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
