Iftikhar Imam Siddiqui

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG, fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:ANYBIO too. I tried level best to find some reliable, independent sources either in English or Urdu. Sorry to say the sources in this article are unreliable or doesn't demonstrate his notability. Times of India discuss that a magazine has a collection of all letters who's editor is Iftikhar Imam Siddiqui but that mention doesn't make someone notable. No mention in Jang, Nawa-i-Waqt etc. Harmony India is an organisation and is not a reliable source. No article on more organised Urdu Wikipedia.  Greenbörg  (talk)  11:42, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Shair. The subject has been discussed several times by the reliable sources for his contribution to the Shair journal –, , , etc. He has also won few awards for his work for the magazine, as discussed here & here. Although few of those awards were given by state governments, none of them seem notable. Outside his work for the journal, he is only known for being one of the lyricists of Arth (film) – . So, he doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG, and the page should be redirected to Shair. I would've suggested merge, but the Shair article already contains some information regarding him. And there doesn't seem to be any new relevant material in the present version of this BLP. - NitinMlk (talk) 22:02, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Shair, per WP:ATD-R. A valid search term, and the subject is covered at the magazine article. North America1000 04:23, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
