10 Years and still no references. A single line BIO stub. Doesn't appear to be notable to me. Lakun.patra (talk) 10:44, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

 * User:Lakun.patra what do you think of the coverage of this bio in Kashmir: Its Aborigines and Their Exodus isbn 1935501585 ? User:Crystallizedcarbon how old do you think this WP:BLP would be now? In ictu oculi (talk) 13:03, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: You are correct, I was dumb of me, I missed the 19th century part. The reference you mentioned is a valid one even if it seems that he is briefly mentioned, I noticed there are other books that mention the subject, so if they are added to the article I would change my recommendation to keep. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 13:15, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep - From what I can tell, "Mirza Pandit Dhar" is also referred to as "Mirza Pandit" judging by actions and associations credited to each, and seems to have played a major role in the liberation of Kashmir. The latter has more sources, but I'm reluctant to act on them fearing my own ignorance. Nonetheless, I found a few refs for Mirza and added one to the article along with a tiny bit more detail. Worth checking out to find more: 1, 2 (and I haven't yet checked Scholar/HighBeam/Questia...). --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 20:16, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
