Search turns up nothing. This is one of many dummy publications in Pakistan. Fails WP:GNG. Störm  (talk)  10:57, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep According to Dawn, it is one of the few major Sindhi newspapers in Pakistan.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 14:06, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry but Dawn never said that it is 'major'? There are dozens Sindhi newspapers which Dawn lists which only verify the subject per WP:V. We need more coverage for stand-alone article per . Störm   (talk)  07:37, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep, publication with decades of history, had a circulation of 191,800 in 1992 (, p. 668). The argument "Search turns up nothing" cannot be a true statement by any means. --Soman (talk) 20:36, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * This only verifies per WP:V. We can't write without original research. I said nothing because they are trivial mentions so we need coverage in order to have stand-alone article per . Störm   (talk)  07:41, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment ATD is to redirect to List of Sindhi newspapers and all similar publications. Störm   (talk)  07:41, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep we don't delete things because they are "dummy" the same way e don't delete BLP because the person is criminal. We document what exist in reliable sources, so "true" or non dummy (whatever) may not have an article on WP while dummy may have. Beside the above given sources there are more independent analysis of this paper in "JPRS Report: Near East & South Asia, Issue 93034" and the book titled "The press under siege" Zamir Niazi, Karachi Press Club, 1992 - Press – this one is also another sources and this paper is having over 100K circulation per day, the article is in shoddy state and require urgent improvement but stubs are not deleted or redirected because they are stub once they are notable. –Ammarpad (talk) 01:44, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
