 * Keep the subject has been cited in numerous books as can be seen via G'books. --Saqib (talk) 15:11, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Being cited in books isn't a Wikipedia notability criterion. Is he the subject of, or at least more than just glancingly namechecked, in any books? That would make a much bigger difference here. Bearcat (talk) 16:05, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment, please familiarize yourself with the Partition of India... --Soman (talk) 10:11, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, Soman's right — you might want to do a little bit of research into why this article contains the phrase "After the independence of Pakistan in 1947..." Bearcat (talk) 17:14, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak keep -- appears to have been a prolific author. I suspect sources may exist in Urdu and / or offline; pls see Worldcat Identities: 16 works in 36 publications in 2 languages and 167 library holdings. The content of the article largely checks out (i.e. official historian, etc), so it's an acceptable stub at this point. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:42, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
