Keep Seems to me this article may be worth saving. Found many reliable sources to verify his claims including Business Recorder newspaper and Pakistan Today newspaper. Please allow time so the article can be improved. I am working on it right now. Ngrewal1 (talk) 17:00, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment This article now has 3 references and 2 external links. As I expected, I had a hard time finding references for a person that had died in 1970. In my view, this article has some historical significance for the obvious reasons...

Hifz-ur-Rehman (died 1970) was a Pakistani archaeologist, historian and linguist.

"Hifz-ur-Rehman donated his life-long collection of nearly 1,500 antiquities to the Lahore Museum, including three Quranic manuscripts of historical significance written by Imam Hussain (grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad), many decrees, Chinese porcelain, rare coins, glass objects, miniatures, ivory objects and specimens of calligraphy and Islamic art objects".

Nearly 40 years after his death, his dedication and service was appreciated and he was awarded by the President of Pakistan in 2011.
